Thu 19 – Sat 21 July

Following sell-out performances in May comes a welcome second opportunity to see this storytelling drama set in the south Wales valleys based upon moving, humorous and bittersweet tales of young motherhood.

I Sing of a Maiden is a conversation between the ancient and contemporary with folk songs from the fifteenth to eighteenth century interspersed with Rachel Trezise’s incisive and funny monologues set in the Rhondda Valley. A mesmerising atmosphere of film, words and music is created around Carys Eleri’s captivating performance as the teenage Abby.

Film by Rachel Calder.
Live music performed by Charlotte Greig, Julian Hayman and Edward James.
Stage design by Elena Scelzi.
Directed by James Tyson.

£10/£8/£6

‘Trezise’s style utterly suits the oral performance, giving characters we never meet life and resonance’ - The Big Issue

‘Elegiac, fragile and affecting, making sense of the old world living in the new’ - Mojo (on Charlotte Greig)

'[a] startling performance from Carys Eleri' - David Adams, Western Mail
