Nansi
In the 1920s, with Nansi at the pinnacle of her career, she’s at a crossroads. Is there room in her life for another love – a love other than for the harp?
Today, the legends that surround her colourful life are as alive as ever. Here was a woman ready to take on the world – one who didn’t give a hoot for convention.
A new play by Angharad Price that tells the story, to the sound of the harp, of Nansi Richards’s enchanting personality.
Audience information:
If you are coming to see Nansi, here’s some information for you to prepare for your trip;
– Doors will open half an hour before the performance starts, and there will be a bar at the location selling alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. The bar will close half an hour after the performance.
– If you’ve ordered your ticket beforehand but haven’t paid for it, you’ll need to arrive 10 minutes before the performance starts or we will have the right to sell your ticket.
