A month-long residency of the Park & Dare Theatre by National Theatre Wales brings a world première and other delights to the south Wales town of Treorchy as it celebrates Welsh writing.
As well as the new play Tonypandemonium by prize-winning author the Rhondda-born Rachel Trezise, there is a two-day festival of new writing Dirty, Gifted and Welsh from fringe company, Dirty Protest, Brecht’s Mother Courage in a new adaptation by Ed Thomas and a marking of the centenary of poet Gwyn Thomas’s birth.
National Theatre Wales artistic director John McGrath said: "The writing talent emerging from Wales at the moment is extraordinary, and we hope this, our fourth and final residency this year, will showcase the very best of what Treorchy and the whole of the Rhondda valley has to offer".
The National Theatre Wales fourth and final residency runs throughout October.
