The Melville Theatre The Melville Centre, Pen-y-Pound, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire

Music that is a living sound track to the Welsh Marches. Acoustic guitar, voice and cello combine to create the atmosphere of the landscapes that inspire them. Ian Mann's (The Jazz Mann online magazine) description spoke that the 'filmic quality of the work is very much rooted in the restless beauty, and at times unforgiving nature, of the Welsh Marches where they are both based.' Formed in 2014 improvising duo Charlie Beresford (acoustic guitar/voice) and Sonia Hammond (cello) both herald from the Welsh Marches, a wild landscape that has left a deep imprint on the sounds they make. Their first album [...]

Once a Catholic

The Melville Theatre The Melville Centre, Pen-y-Pound, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire

The Play Group are delighted to present this hysterical comedy by Mary O'Malley.  Set in a convent school in 1950s London,  we meet 3 girls (all named Mary) from Form 5A , as they prepare to sit their O Levels.

Based on the true life experiences of the writer, this [...]

Life’s Little VicToms

The Melville Theatre The Melville Centre, Pen-y-Pound, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire

Get ready to experience a one-of-a-kind comedy play, "Life's Little VicToms," that is hilariously developed from true stories. It ingeniously blends theatre with situation comedy to captivate the audience. Follow Vicky and Tom, a middle-aged couple, in two very different scenarios as they tackle the ups and downs of everyday life. This play's unique style masterfully breaks the fourth wall, drawing the audience into the narrative. Get ready for a wild ride in Act One: Tom's grand idea of whisking Vicky away on a two-week holiday in France with a caravan in tow goes awry. Cue the comedy of errors: Poor [...]
