黑料不打烊鈥檚 English Drama Society present Saunders Lewis鈥� Iconic historical tragedy, Siwan
Translated by Joseph P Clancy
BEDS, 黑料不打烊鈥� University鈥檚 English Drama Society, will stage a production of the tragedy Siwan by Saunders Lewis on the 23rd and 24th of November at 7.30pm, in Pontio鈥檚 Theatr Bryn Terfel.
Ryan Neil Proudlove, who plays Llywelyn, said 鈥淗aving no knowledge of the play prior to the production, my eyes have been opened to the eloquent and poetic nature of Saunders Lewis鈥� work. This performance perfectly presents each characters desires and struggles. Llywelyn is a tragic character whth whom the audience can empathise. However, his undying love for Siwan can affect his temperament.鈥�
The director, Jessica Lauren Foster, said 鈥淚 am thrilled to be putting on an English translation of Siwan with BEDS. It has been a pleasure to work with such a talented cast on what, in my eyes, is the greatest Welsh drama. Set in the Royal Kingdom of Gwynedd, on Mayday eve in 1230, Siwan, the illegitimate daughter of King John and wife of Llywelyn Fawr makes a grave mistake which costs her her freedom and love for the sake of Marcher lord, Guillame de Barose. This historical play explores themes such as love, lust, forgiveness and loneliness.鈥�
