"MERLIN UNCHAINED": The world premiere performances of a new play by David Rudkin: |
Aberystwyth University Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies proudly presents the world premiere performances of a new play by its Honorary Professor, David Rudkin: MERLIN UNCHAINEDDirected by David Ian Rabey The aged magician has repudiated human society and lost all memory of his wondrous and tragic past. He lives like a beast in the wild wood, with only a wolf and the stars for company. But now the bitter winter is passing; his memories and powers begin painfully to re-awake: mysterious forces are summoning him to one last mission in the world, necessitating a purposeful and ferocious confrontation with the configurations of power, and obedience to power, which characterise our own present-day political and ecological dystopia. This remarkable new play blends the epic, the tragic and the savagely comic with a Shakespearean ambition and force. 7:30, 23-27 January 2009, Theatr y Castell/Castle Theatre Aberystwyth, £7/5.
