If you’re a frequent visitor to the Grand Pavilion in Porthcawl you may well have come across CHRIS HARRIS, who is one of the dedicated, hard-working team there. What you may not know (but we’re about to put that right) is that Chris has also written Welsh language play Golygfeydd o’r Pla Du, which is taking to the stage this evening, for one night only’.
This is a mischievous, black (death) comedy in Welsh about those who gain from crisis, and those who empower change in the system. Very misbehaving in its storytelling, we welcome you to the Black Death – there’s nothing funnier.
1348, Pentreufargirec. A new chaos has arrived – Plague. God has betrayed the people, and a frenzy of finger-pointing, cat-hunting and heretic-burning has drowned the village in the toilet. To con-artist Twm, everything is ripe for the picking.
With people dying, there’s a social ladder to climb. But under the rule of a Tax Collector desperately searching for love, and a revolutionary manure-seller spreading free-thinking amongst the peasantry, Twm will realise that the climb to power has its obstacles.
Here’s Chris to tell you all about tonight’s performance……
Golygfeydd o’r Pla Du is at the Grand Pavilion this evening from 7:30pm, for more details, and to get tickets, go HERE. Just be aware that this play is performed in Welsh. Live translation is available.
Chris is also taking the show on the road, calling into place like Barry, Swansea and more. Head to his website HERE for details. or click on the Twitter links below for each of the venues.
