So much has happened and so little time to put it together for you my listeners.
Another Opening! Another Show! The Grand Theatre, Swansea is always busy and
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.
The photo on the right shows the cast in the final rehearsal before moving into the Grand theatre. It's a great shame that so much effort isn't going to be staged again in the near future in Swansea or worse in London's est End where it would stand up against other shows there.
Now the pantomime starts at the Grand theatre on 15th December and runs on until mid January.I was invitd to the Press Call at the Grand and interviewd the cast. Keep listening and you'll hear those interviews over the following weeks.
Whatever your age I'm sure you can look back to a great show around Christmas. Anyone who hasn't experienced a pantomime is missing out on one of those great British traditions.
There's a great line-up again this year and you can't book early enough so why not phone the Grand Theatre and make a booking - treat the family.
Watch out for some great interviews.
