The adventure continues! Patrick Goddard launches episode 9 of his fantasy serial novel, The Secret Roses, at 8 pm on Monday, February 26 at MainLine Theatre (3997 Saint-Laurent).
The Secret Roses tells the story of a group of army brats stuck on a Canadian base in 1980's West Germany. To fight off the boredom of their surroundings, they start a role-playing game in which they play themselves - only as comic book super-heroes.
In Episode 9, our heroes reveal the secret origin of their super-hero names.
The Secret Roses is self-published by Patrick Goddard. In homage to the story's comic-book roots, the novel is serialized in monthly issues. Each issue also contains a "character sheet" from the role-playing game, illustrated by Tim Moerman.
CKUT's Estelle Rosen hosts the evening. Special musical guest Nick Carpenter and Patrick take us underneath the Berlin Wall for a 1980's cabaret history of 20th century Germany. Patrick will read from Episode 9, and the salon topic is "Names". How did you get your name? Did you ever change your name? What's your nickname? What's your secret nickname?...
Doors open at 7:30 pm. Show starts at 8 pm. Admission is $5 and includes a free copy of Episode 7. A 6-issue subscription is available for $15. The Secret Roses is also on sale through www.patricktgoddard.blogspot.com.
