Y Tŵr
A Music Theatre Wales & Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru production originally presented by Sherman Theatre and the Vale of Glamorgan Festival 2017
Y Tŵr is an intimate story of love and life from the UK’s leading new opera company and the Welsh-language national theatre, based on the work of one of Wales’ most important playwrights. Exploring the extremes of emotion experienced by two lovers over the course of a lifetime together, Gwenlyn Parry’s acclaimed play is brought to new life in the form of a touching and lyrical new opera by composer Guto Puw and singer-songwriter-playwright, Gwyneth Glyn. Sung in Welsh with English surtitles.
By Guto Puw
Libreto by Gwyneth Glyn
Based on the play by Gwenlyn Parry
Duration: 130m (including 20m interval)
Dawns Ysbrydion / Ghost Dance
It is 50 years since the drowning of a Welsh village to create the Tryweryn reservoir to support the expanding population of Liverpool. Taking inspiration from the Ghost Dances performed by some of the North American First Nations at the end of the nineteenth century, internationally acclaimed performer Eddie Ladd leads an all-female cast in this unrelenting dance for survival. Co-directed by Montreal choreographer Sarah Williams, with live, original electro score by Y Pencadlys.
