Presented by Bale and Thomas in Association with Theatr Felinfach, Torch Theatre and RCT Theatres.
Written by Owen Thomas
Directed by Gareth John Bale
Starring Simon Nehan as Carwyn James
Carwyn is a brand-new play about the life of Carwyn James. Written by Owen Thomas, the award-winning writer of Grav, the play explores the life of a man who made an incredible, indelible impact on his homeland.
A man who adored sport, culture, politics, and Wales, Carwyn James had a career that comprised everything from teaching and broadcasting to coaching and espionage. To this day he remains the only Coach to mastermind a series victory for the British Lions against the All Blacks.
Carwyn will attempt to unravel the enigma of a multi-layered man. A man ahead of his time. A man who was alone in a crowd. A man uncomfortable in his own skin.
Directed by Gareth John Bale (star of Grav) and with Simon Nehan as Carwyn James, this play looks at the dramatic life of a Welsh cultural icon who left the field far too soon.
Audio description is a live commentary interspersed with the actors' dialogue. This is relayed via a headset linked to the infra-red audio system. There is a short 'programme notes' session, before the production, which explains the atmosphere, costumes, characters and action.
BSL
British Sign Language Performance
Signed performances are ideal for those who use sign language. Trained British Signed Language (BSL) signers usually stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers at the same time as it is being performed.
R
Relaxed Screening/Performance
Open to everyone, but particularly appropriate for anyone who may find the usual theatre/cinema environment challenging, due to an Autism Spectrum Condition, a learning disability, or a fear of the dark, loud noises or confined spaces.
Relaxed Performances/Screenings provide a relaxed environment, where elements are adapted to reduce anxiety or stress. Lighting and sound levels are adjusted to soften their impact and there is a relaxed attitude to noise and leaving and re-entering the auditorium during the performance/screening.
Designated 'chill-out' areas are provided outside the auditorium with activities for people to use if being in the auditorium becomes overwhelming for them.
T
Touch Tour
A Touch Tour is ideal for blind and partially-sighted audiences to familiarise themselves with the set ahead of the performance.
C
Captioned Screening/Performance
Captions display dialogue on-screen (similar to subtitles) and also describe the audio or sound portion of a film/performance allowing audience members who are D/deaf or hard of hearing to follow the script and the action of the film/performance at the same time.
For live performances, the screen is positioned at the side of the stage.
