National Theatre Wales presents:
National Theatre Wales in association with Ffwrnes
A theatrical staging of Christopher Logue's War Music
Directors Mike Pearson & Mike Brookes
“In the beginning there was no Beginning,
And in the end, no End…”
This September, experience Ffwrnes theatre like never before as directors Mike Pearson and Mike Brookes (The Persians and Coriolan/us) bring their trademark vision to the classic Greek story, ILIAD.
This multimedia retelling of the final weeks of the Trojan War will be told by cast of great Welsh actors, including Melanie Walters (Gavin and Stacey), Richard Lynch (Coriolan/us, Pobol y Cwm) and Daniel Hawksford (Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage & Praxis Makes Perfect) along with a troupe of interfering teenage gods. ILIAD will immerse you in a vast, 360-degree cinematic landscape.
You can choose to experience the four individual shows separately, or be a part of one of two extraordinary marathon performances - either all-day (on Sat 26 Sept) or overnight (on the night of Sat 3 Oct).
Passion. Betrayal. Courage. Rage. Comradeship. Loss. Loyalty. War. Heroes rebel; Kings and gods clash … who can win in this brutal battle between men, gods and fate?
Epic storytelling meets box-set theatre
Audio Description: Monday 28 September, 7.30pm
