TACHWEDD
SHOWING FROM Wed 25 Sept - Sat 28 Sept 2024
Price: £12.00
Immerse yourself in the gripping new drama Tachwedd by Jon Berry, coming to The Torch Theatre and Theatre503 this autumn. This poignant play, set in the heart of Bethesda, North Wales, traverses the breadth of history from prehistory to the present day. Tachwedd masterfully blends biographical narratives, ancient mythologies, and the mundane reality of 21st-century therapy to explore profound themes of land, identity, and destiny.At its core, Tachwedd tells the story of a family farm's uncertain future, a mother’s struggle to make rent, and a town reeling from mass layoffs. As decisions ripple through time, the very land they inhabit begins to fragment, reflecting the play's exploration of violence, dispossession, and the force of history. Tachwedd turns the ‘state-of-the-nation’ play on its head, intertwining religious fervour, royal hunting parties, and palpable national angst to create an evocative, searing piece of contemporary theatre.
Don’t miss this extraordinary production that promises a lasting impact, resonating deeply with theatre-goers and Welsh audiences alike. Secure your tickets now for an unforgettable journey through time, myth, and human consequence.
