Swansea Women is the new musical written, directed and produced by Swansea women with Swansea actors.
Written and composed by Lyn MacKay it is based on life in Sandfields, Swansea during the forties and is based on historic accuracies. Lyn spent hours checking the details and talking with people who were around at the time.
It is the the story of 3 generations and a prequel to Swansea Girls that Lyn wrote 3 years ago.
Directed by Katherine Price, it was an experience just watching her working on the fine detail for the finale.
Produced by Nia Trussler Jones who was also in the cast along with her mother Menna and son Oliver: probably the first time 3 generations of one family have appeared at the Grand Theatre together. All have appeared in other productions and you'll know Menna from Little Britain.
In Town Today are proud to have interviews with others involved in this production including Richard Burman who has appeared in shows in London's West End and our much loved Kevin Johns who we'll look forward to seeing in the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs again at the Grand Theatre.
