SUMMARY:Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:Join Savoy Youth Theatre as they showcase their latest National Theatre Connections performance\, Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth\, written by Kirsty Housley.\n \n\nWhen an alarm is deliberately set off during their GCSE drama exam\, a group of students find themselves in detention. As they struggle to navigate the seemingly endless tasks they’ve been set as punishment\, questions are raised. Who set off the alarm and why? Will they ever get out of this detention? Will it cost them their GCSE? And why is Shakespeare still so popular?  \nSo begins a meta deconstruction of the play as we move from classroom to theatre\, artifice to reality. The performers switch between their characters and their real selves as they interrogate Shakespeare\, the canon\, the education system\, the nature of theatre\, and the world itself. They begin to wonder whether the classics really are that classic\, or whether we might need to tell a different story altogether…. \nContent guidance:   \no Themes exploring the climate emergency \no Themes exploring the cost of living crisis \no Depictions of anxiety \no References to colonialism

SUMMARY:John Bevan: Team Player – from Lions to League
DESCRIPTION:A new play by Mari Lloyd \n“To us\, it’s not just a game\, it’s who we are. \n”It’s 1971. \nMargaret Thatcher becomes known as the ‘Milk Snatcher’. ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ is nominated for 10 BAFTAs…And the British Lions with 13 Welsh players do something that has never been done before…and never repeated since. They defeat the mighty All Blacks on their own turf in New Zealand. \nImagine\, like John Bevan\, that you are 20 years old\, and part of that phenomenal success. How does that feel? And what happens afterwards? Within two years John Bevan leaves Union for League and a new life. What is he searching for? And will he find it? Could ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ inspire change? Or is this the end of a dream. \nMari Lloyd’s new solo play explores the triumphs and challenges of three years in the sporting career of Welsh rugby player John Bevan\, as it chronicles the Test series in Australia and New Zealand in 1971 and the period which followed in 1973 when John left the success of his rugby union roots to “go north” for a job to play rugby league for Warrington. \nThis is the new production from the team behind the acclaimed\, award nominated Still Here named by The Edit as one of ‘The Top 20 Shows We Saw Across Wales’ in 2025. \nWritten by Mari Lloyd | Directed by Julia Stubbs Produced by Still Here Productions in association with 20 South Street and Grey Swan With Scott Gutteridge as John Bevan \nCritical Acclaim for our previous production “Still Here is not just a play – it’s an experience that lingers in the heart long after you leave the theatre. Mari Lloyd’s work stands as a testament to the enduring power of Welsh storytelling to connect\, challenge\, and inspire Welsh writers to pick up the mantle and forget their own stories of what it means to be Welsh.” The Edit “English-speaking Welsh theatre has been scared of showcasing Welsh people for a long time; it’s exciting to see a company not only doing it but doing it well.” ★★★★ Buzz Magazine “incredibly powerful” ★★★★ Everything Theatre “hugely enjoyable” ★★★★ Fairy Powered Productions \nTickets: £15.00 | Running Time: 95 minutes (plus interval ) followed by a post-show Q&A (free) \nContent Information: brief strong language\, references to isolation and loneliness | Age Guidance: 12+
