Things for Alex are good. He loves his wife, his daughter, his city, his job. But sometimes the force of life can crash against you. Sometimes everything you thought you could always depend on can be taken away.
Sea Wall is a powerful thirty-minute play about family, fear and the things that can't be undone. The play was first produced by the Bush Theatre in 2008 and has been described as 'One of the most devastating 30 minutes you are ever likely to experience in the theatre' The Guardian and ‘Engaging and devastating...packs an enormous emotional punch' The Independent
Sea Wall is the first collaboration between two local artists who met through the work of Sheep Music in Presteigne.
Director and performer Andrew Sterry grew up in Mid Wales and has returned to live in Presteigne. He was a founder member of the Mid Powys Youth Thetare and performed in many productions including The Visit and Frida and Diego, which were performed at the Royal National Theatre in London. After graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama as an actor Andrew trained as a theatre director. His directing work includes Flesh and Blood and Everything Must Go for Sherman Cymru, The Snow Queen, Cinderella and Lysistrata for the Mid Powys Youth Theatre and Cinderella and Antigone for Theatr Powys. Whilst continuing to direct theatre Andrew has spent his time in Mid Wales running festivals and events for Sheep Music in Presteigne.
John Hymas is a professional instrumentalist and composer. Since moving to the Welsh borders he has written scores for Diversions Dance Company, Theatr Powys, Presteigne Festival of Music & the Arts, and numerous community projects. John is a member of acclaimed folk crossover band Hoover the Dog and local roots favourite Little Rumba. For the last 10 years he has run Sheep Music's highly respected youth music programme Black Sheep White Sheep.
Sea Wall will be performed on Thursday 24, Friday 25 & Saturday 26 March at 8pm in the Assembly Rooms, Presteigne. All tickets are priced at £5.
