Wild Wales Comes to Life at Last!
|
If you thought you’d missed the theatrical presentation of George Borrow’s famous book Wild Wales in August, we’ve got some good news for you.
Due to unforeseen circumstances the show couldn’t be performed on the original date of August 9, but the humorous new adaptation by Francis Hardy, called And I was Bound for Wales, is coming to the Living Willow Theatre on Friday September 5. Peter Richards, artistic director of the Swansea-based Fluellen Theatre Company, plays the gentleman observer as he travels alone on foot through 19th century Wales.
Fluellen Theatre Company was formed in 2000 to produce a wide repertoire of classic plays from world theatre, and was named after the pugnacious Welsh Captain in Shakespeare`s Henry V. They are renowned for their ability to present classical theatrical works in a manner which blows away the cobwebs while preserving the integrity of the original.
Described as “an agreeably eccentric, larger-than-life, jovial man whose laughter rings all through the book,” Borrow provides a valuable and unique snapshot of Wales as it used to be. The one-man show is enhanced by music which is specially written and performed by leading Celtic harpist Delyth Jenkins.
Catch And I was Bound for Wales at The Living Willow Theatre on Friday 5 September at 7pm, with a bar and barbecue available from 6pm. Tickets cost £10 and £5 and can be purchased through the theatre box office on 01597 811487 |
