CLWYD THEATR CYMRU’S CELTIC FESTIVAL
OF NEW WRITING 2012

***See all 3 productions in the Celtic Festival and pay for only 2 when booked at the same time ***

The Celtic Festival is a celebration of new writing from the Celtic nations, featuring three of the best new plays from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Flagship theatre companies – Glasgow Citizens, The Lyric Theatre, Belfast and Clwyd Theatr Cymru - will perform under one roof in a new festival in Mold which will become an annual event.

The Celtic Festival takes place over seven weeks in the Emlyn Williams Theatre during April and May.

 
Citizens Theatre
THE MONSTER IN THE HALL
Wednesday 11 – Saturday 21 April
(SCOTLAND)

The festival opens with the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, production The Monster in the Hall by David Greig, a comedy musical about a girl on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The play is performed with just 4 actor-musicians and the production style is stripped back to reveal storytelling fuelled simply by great writing, direction and striking performances. The Monster in the Hall has already been critically acclaimed, following performances on tour and at the Edinburgh Festival.

The Lyric Theatre
WHITE STAR OF THE NORTH
Tuesday 24 April – Saturday 5 May
(NORTHERN IRELAND)

The Lyric Theatre, Belfast come to Mold with White Star of the North by Rosemary Jenkinson. This is a new play to mark the most famous year in Belfast’s history, 1912 – the year of the Titanic and the Ulster Covenant, signed in the city in protest against the third Home Rule Bill to establish a parliament in Dublin.

This poignant drama examines political tensions which led to emigration to America and blows apart the myth of heroism on the Titanic.
