West

The Friends of Builth Wells Library are delighted to be welcoming Owen Thomas and Gareth John Bale back to Builth Wells with West.
Written by Owen Thomas, the award-winning writer of ‘Grav’ and ‘The Wood’. West explores the lives of two Welsh people who fall in love and decide to leave Wales in order to build a life in the New World. It details the hardships and adventures they faced, focusing primarily on the theme of immigration.

The play is written in a lyrical, poetic style and presented using minimal set and a physicalised performance style.

It is performed by Gareth John Bale (who also directs), the Welsh actor and director whose credits include ‘Grav’, ‘Steeltown Murders’ and ‘Nye and Jennie’; and Gwenllian Higginson, best known to Welsh theatre audiences for ‘Constellations’, ‘Gwlad yr Asyn’ and ‘Miss Julie’.
