From Monday, 16th December at 3.45pm and across the week at the same time, Terry Jones’ Fairy Tales will also feature recordings by Terry Jones himself, and the programmes will be broadcast together in a special omnibus edition on Christmas Day at 5pm. The news comes as National Theatre Wales prepares to open its first Christmas production, Silly Kings – a large-scale, musical production for children and very silly adults, adapted from Fairy Tales – in Cardiff Castle on Thursday 19th December. This interactive, family-friendly show will be packed with Pythonesque coconut shells, slapstick humour and live music from Groove Armada’s Patrick Dawes, all in a huge, heated Spiegeltent in Cardiff’s glorious Castle. Terry Jones said: “I’m very pleased that BBC Radio Wales will be broadcasting some of my Fairy Tales as part of their special programmes for Christmas. I’m hoping that young listeners - and old ones - all the way from Colwyn Bay to Cardiff Bay will enjoy escaping for a few minutes to a very different world!” BBC Radio Wales presents TERRY JONES’S FAIRY TALES Read by Terry Jones, Eve Myles, Alex Jones, Huw Stephens and Griff Rhys Jones Mon 16th-Fri 20th Dec 2013, 3.45pm Special Omnibus Edition Christmas Day, 5pm National Theatre Wales presents SILLY KINGS Adapted from Fairy Tales by Terry Jones and Michael Foreman Adapted by Katherine Chandler Directed by Jo Davies At Cardiff Castle Thu 19th Dec 2013-Sat 4th Jan 2014, times vary (Thurs 2nd Jan, 2pm - touch tour & audio described performance) Venue: Cardiff Castle, Castle Street, Cardiff, CF10 3RB Box Office: nationaltheatrewales.org / WMC 029 2063 6464 Tickets: £12.50 / £15 / £17.50 / Family Ticket £50 Special group rates available Recommended for ages 7+ nationaltheatrewales.org/sillykings |
