Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff
Tues 28 – Fri 31 Mar
The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama bring together their Richard Burton company and four pieces of new writing in the NEW 2017 season. For the fourth year running the college’s final years, formed into the Richard Burton Company to present their final performances, take on new writing from some of the UK’s finest playwrights. The plays premiere in Cardiff at RWCMD’s Burton and Bute theatre spaces, before transferring for a run in Notting Hill.
The season includes Simon Longman’s White Sky, a play about loss, violence, and a collection of characters who are looking for a world beyond a bypass. In Alison Carr’s Hush, a 999 call sets the wheels in motion and nothing can stay secret forever, at least not in this town. Current events take centre stage in Eve Leigh’s Spooky at a Distance which focuses on a real life anti-immigration protest which took place in Dover. Finally, Conor Mitchell’s The Last Ambulance is a piece set in the near future that examines the nature of determinism, control and sex crime in the rubble of Europe.
This season with its combination of fresh writing and showcasing the strong performance talent of the Richard Burton Company is cementing the RWCMD’s NEW as a must see in the theatrical calendar.
