Hijinx Return To Theatrau Sir Gar
|
Following the highly successful tour of the inspiring and moving Full Circle and the kitchen sink realism of The Other Woman, Hijinx will be returning to Theatrau Sir Gar with their latest production, Miss Brown To You, at Carmarthen’s Lyric, 19 March.
Written by Alan Harris, directed by Gaynor Lougher and set in World War II, Miss Brown To You follows the plight of Emily, a young city woman with Down’s syndrome, sent to a small mid Wales village, to live with her fierce Aunt Rhoda. Leaving behind her sick mother and the security of the life she knows, Emily is confronted with a new life of unknown challenges, loneliness and prejudice, particularly from the local policeman who finds her arrival a threat to his own schemes and ambitions.
A strong bond develops between Emily and her cousin David but this is shattered when he goes off to fight. Emily seeks to escape; lost and afraid on the mountain she meets Stanley, a young man in hiding and desperate. Both are outsiders and alone and both have the need for a friend. But secrets are so hard to keep and Aunt Rhoda is becoming suspicious. As for Sergeant Price, he is becoming very impatient with this whole situation and will do anything to get his way. Meanwhile, Aunt Rhoda has her own demons to fight as a web of lies starts to unravel…
Hard-hitting, enchanting, evocative and loaded with powerful realism, this is unmissable live theatre at its best. Tickets, priced £5.50 - £7.50, are available from the box office:
