Lisa Palfrey of tears in eyes, Rhian Blythe innocence and passion and emotion in a memorable portra

In a speech at the Theatre Academy and the Welsh delivered at Portmeirion in September 2007, said Ian Rowlands said: "I believe very strongly in me, purpose and role of the National Theatre in a civilized nation; a theater that stages the individual's truths in a community of communities. Waste any nation to support a national company does not reflect the aspirations of the country. "
He went on to quote Lord de Walden - founder of a fledging National Theatre at the beginning of the twentieth century: "The nation and shouldnt Undertake Thorough analysis and ultimately self process- of self-Criticism tattoo Would grapple with the galluogi it to MANY contradictions with Which sub-its sense of Identity riddled. ' That is, there was an urgent need for us as a nation to foster objectivity and honesty we did not create a National Theatre of quality, wqn value, and of relevance to the whole nation. "
This week, I had the privilege of seeing Ian Rowlands's latest drama 'Blink' Cochrane wqn Theatre here in London. Drama will be presented by the company newborn 'FAB' and then under the direction of Steve Fisher. Drama in the English wqn language, is being performed by skilled and memorable three actors fluent in Welsh. wqn A drama based on one of the most relevant topics, controversial and personal to the Welsh community has ever been. Drama should be composed in Welsh and presented by our National Theatre.
He initiated wqn the play due to a knock on the door of kitchen Ian in Cardiff. Behind the door was a friend of his, and said the words: 'You Know How you've wanted to Talk About wastad John Owen and I've wqn never wanted to sut Talk About him. Well I'm ready to talk now '. Several months later, while in Ireland, Ian started writing the play that flowed from it 'almost in its finished form, as if the need to bring to life has been there for some time; drama needed to be constituted, it was a statement Tried to do '. It presents the drama of his friends, to those who have read the play, and has stated that the drama 'about' is this.
One family history of Rhondda here is basically; the mother (Lisa Palfrey) and his son 'Si' (Sion Pritchard) and attended wqn the local Welsh High School, where he developed a keen interest in drama from 'the god' local drama 'Arfon Jones'. He only seventeen wqn years old, he escaped 'Si' to London, leaving his first love 'Kay' wqn (Rhian Blythe) and his family behind. One knew why that is very 'Si' expecting this, until he returned seven years later, his father 'Prestige' is now a patient in the hospital. After returning home, one of his friends told him that the drama teacher has been arrested by the police on suspicion wqn of child abuse. This is the spark that fired painful memories in the past closed 'Si', and does a him having to face what happened. To re-remember the words "'If what a great chi ydych actor, rhaid profiad Everything' - twelve words tattoo Ruined and life". By requiring children wqn to perform parts of controversial wqn plays like 'Equus' and 'Spring Awakening' Frank Wedekind of the German, he turned to the lessons innocent in prison sexual desires unforgivable 'Arfon Jones' and profaned the memory 'Si' and forced to try to escape his memories.
Could only just praise and heartfelt thanks for the gift of Ian Rowlands not only to treat words as artistically, but also for addressing the sensitive subject and relevant here. Drama and made me be the words 'raw' and 'honest' on the cover of my program, especially at the beginning of the second act, and who reminded me of the old feeling uncomfortable I felt when I watched wqn Sarah Kane for the controversial drama first time. Having said this, I wanted to more. Some touch and run away I made the play at times, with the story of family shelters the TRUE I aspired. Thou form the drama does not help, and we will jump between the past and present, and he lost the magic, power and strength of the play in several places. I see the need to convey fear and power that the 'wolves in the robes of sheep' not only on the minds of innocent children, but also on their families and friends.
Lisa Palfrey of tears in eyes, Rhian Blythe innocence and passion and emotion in a memorable portrait Sion Pritchard, the three actors are great and so is the duty to Steven Fisher skilled direction. Again, this is a simple but magnificent set by Rhys Jarman, and &
