Full Circle at The Melville Theatre
|
On Friday, 27 June, Hijinx Theatre will bring their acclaimed spring show Full Circle by Glenys Evans to The Melville Theatre, Drama Centre, Penypound, Abergavenny.
Full Circle takes it inspiration from the true story of Andrew Williams who climbed to Base Camp on Mount Everest in 1996. Through his circle of support and his own determination, Andrew, who has learning disabilities, achieved something that the majority of us would not even think of attempting.
Full Circle _ which received four-star theatre reviews - is the triumphant story of a dependent person with an impossible dream. Or is the dream so impossible? After college ends, Andy finds himself alone; he no longer sees his friends, his world becomes smaller. But Andy has a dream - A BIG DREAM. A circle of friends is formed to give support but they find they have taken on a lifetime challenge in a way none of them anticipated _ KEEPING A DREAM ALIVE!
Hijinx's Artistic Director, Gaynor Lougher, directs a cast of five in the play, written by Glenys Evans with music by James Williams. Full Circle looks at turning the impossible dream into a reality; climbing those obstacles that are put in the way with the help of a circle of friends.
The part of Andrew is played by Nick Wayland-Evans and Gareth Clark. Gareth is a member of Odyssey Theatre, a community project group run by Hijinx and has Down's syndrome. In working on this production Gareth will be climbing his own Mount Everest _ it will be a challenging journey and an inspirational story for everyone.
Hijinx Theatre is one of the UK's leading small scale touring companies, with over 27 years experience of producing theatre for people with learning disabilities and their communities. We offer the thrill of live theatre; bringing to life characters, themes and issues which are relevant, challenging and inspiring.
