PEGGY’S PLAY, 19th April - Peggy Morgan may have retired from
the NLT stage, but that hasn’t stopped her directing a play in April. Entitled,
Who Was Hilary Maconochie? and written by James Saunders, the action
unfolds around a middle class widow, her maid and the arrival of a friend for
afternoon tea. In this play, all is definitely not what it seems…

provoking evening.
CALLING ALL WORKERS
10th May
The theatre will be open on the 10th May to prepare for the following
week’s play. Please come along and help. Also, the ticket office will be
open on this night as usual.
May 14th -19th Someone's Else's Rainbow
The May Major will be something of a departure for NLT.
Due to no experienced director coming forward, we will
be collaborating with Found Out Theatre to present a joint
production.
Someone Else’s Rainbow by Sam Boardman-Jacobs sees
Alice Dell reflecting on her life as a Judy Garland
impersonator, and how she has lived her life in the shadow
of the Hollywood star. Alex Alderton, who plays Alice,
was awarded the 2005 Theatre in Wales award for Best
Female Performance when she first performed the role in
Cardiff.
As a play with songs, this is something we would not
normally stage, so will hopefully be refreshing for our
audiences.
Please note that all ticket and front of house
arrangements will be exactly as normal.
24th May
Pupils from Dwr-y-Felin school (including YW’s Tom Jenkins) will present a thirty minute version of Macbeth. They originally entered this for the Shakespeare Schools Festival at the Taliesin in February, and we are thrilled to be making these links between NLT and local schools.
DICKERSON DOES DALLAS
31st May
The final club night of the season before the AGM will be a play: Brenton vs. Brenton by David Tristram. Directed by Michael Dickerson, the play
asks vital questions such as: “What is the dark secret which enflames the
Brenton family feud?”; “Who is the mysterious Eddie?”; “Why are Lana's
shoulder pads wider than the door?” All this, and more, is revealed in this
outrageous spoof of American soaps and blockbuster mini-series, set in the
manic world of Chicago's biggest ad agency.
AGM
7th June
The Annual General Meeting will be
held on 7th June. As usual, after the
meeting’s business, there will be a
glass of wine and nibbles. Come along
and celebrate the end of another
successful season.
