Blink and you’ll miss it!
|
Cardiff based theatre company F.A.B. Theatre is producing and touring its first production, and already tongues are wagging about this new venture, not to mention the play itself. ‘Blink’ by Ian Rowlands can be seen at Chapter from Tuesday 30th October – Thursday 8th November, and then on tour across Wales before heading to London’s Cochrane Theatre. (Full tour dates below).
The initial inspiration for Blink was the events surrounding the Clywch enquiry - a report into
the systematic abuse of children at a Welsh language comprehensive during the 80's. Though based on tragic events, ‘Blink’ is a warm hearted and comic drama which deals with father figures and family life.
Ian Rowlands has written a fast paced drama about leaving and returning, about the prodigal son who comes back to Wales. Ian says “Blink tumbled out, almost fully formed, as if it had been seeking life for some time; a play that needed to be written, a statement I needed to make.”
The audience will be presented with an edgy examination of the close-knit lives and lies of a small south Wales community, whose secrets start with the rudey club and end with ’12 words that ruined a life’.
‘Blink’ is directed by Steve Fisher, experienced director in theatre, film and television. Steve is currently busy in rehearsals with cast members Lisa Palfrey (National Theatre, Royal Court Theatre), Rhian Blythe (Clwyd Theatr Cymru, Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru) and Sion Pritchard (Clwyd Theatre Cymru, Sgript Cymru).
‘Blink’ is a co-production with The Torch Theatre, Milford Haven.
F.A.B. Theatre is a new company brought to you by Artistic Director Steve Fisher and Producer Emma Goad, who between them have 30 years experience of professional theatre making, in Wales and beyond.
