TIGER BAY the MUSICAL Music by Daf James Book and Lyrics by Michael Williams Directed by Melly Still PRESS RELEASE – 15 August 2017 IMAGES CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE Twitter/ Facebook / Instagram / website A WALES MILLENNIUM CENTRE PRODUCTION IN ASSOCIATION WITH CAPE TOWN OPERA TIGER BAY THE MUSICAL Music by Daf James Book and Lyrics by Michael Williams Directed by Melly Still • SUZANNE PACKER JOINS THE PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED JOHN OWEN JONES, NOEL SULLIVAN AND VICKI BEBB • WALES MILLENNIUM CENTRE IN CARDIFF FROM 13 – 25 NOVEMBER Wales Millennium Centre in association with Cape Town Opera presents the world premiere of brand new musical TIGER BAY THE MUSICAL this autumn, bringing the atmosphere and stories of Cardiff Bay’s vibrant past at the height of the South Wales coal trade, to life on stage at Wales Millennium Centre from 13 to 25 November with opening night for press on 15 November. Casualty actress Suzanne Packer has been cast to play Landlady, Marisha, joining the previously announced West End and Broadway actor John Owen Jones (Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera) as John Crichton-Stuart, Third Marquess of Bute, Hear’Say’s Noel Sullivan (BBC’s Ordinary Lives, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels UK Tour, We Will Rock You UK Tour) as Harbour Master, Séamus O’Rourke and recent graduate from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Vicki Bebb as valley girl, Rowena with Ruby Llewellyn and Louise Harvey, two young girls from Cardiff sharing the role of Ianto. Further casting still to be announced. Set to a rousing musical score, shop girls, coal miners, donkeymen, sailors, suffragettes, immigrants, and a lively gang of raggedy urchin Water Boys all believe that through hard work they too may prosper from King Coal. But when unionism imperils profits, the ambitious Harbour Master, the Bute Dock Company and the merchants of the Coal Exchange threaten their livelihoods and dreams of a brighter future. High above them, in the Zodiac Room of Cardiff Castle, the Third Marquess of Bute, stares into his Crystal Gazing machine seeking answers from Shadowland to his own seemingly insurmountable troubles. A fictional story of revolution, reconciliation, courage and love, the award-winning creative team, including composer Daf James, writer Michael Williams and director Melly Still, have remained sympathetic to the sights and sounds of the bawdy public houses and alleyways of old Butetown, Cardiff, Britain's flamboyant multi-ethnic community at the dawn of the 20th Century. Born and bred in Cardiff, Suzanne Packer said: “I was drawn to Tiger Bay the Musical as it tells a particular untold story in a colourful and entertaining way. Growing up in Cardiff I knew a little about its multicultural history; its only now through the vibrancy of the music and captivating storyline that I am learning more about it. It’s far better than any history lesson. This musical has such a great sense of some of the local history but it’s a universal story. Nobody gets away from heartbreak and there are themes throughout - class divide, loss, conflict - that everyone will connect with.” Noel Sullivan, whose grandfather worked on Cardiff’s docks, has said: It is time Cardiff and Wales were recognised on the world stage for its musical theatre talent. A production like Tiger Bay the Musical, conceived, created and produced in Wales, deserves all its hopes for a bright future. I’m very honoured to be on that journey.” -ENDS- For further information please contact: The Corner Shop PR | 020 7831 7657 | Lewis Jenkins | Su-Ann Chow-Seegoolam Cowshed | 02920 789 321 | Vicki Spencer-Francis | Stacey Oliver LISTINGS A Wales Millennium Centre Production In association with Cape Town Opera TIGER BAY – THE MUSICAL Music by Daf James Book and Lyrics by Michael Williams Directed by Melly Still Co-directed by Max Barton Designed by Anna Fleischle Lighting designs by Joshua Carr Sound designs by Christopher Shutt Musical supervision and direction by David Mahoney Wales Millennium Centre Bute Place, Cardiff Bay, CF10 5AL First performance: Monday 13 November 2017 Final performance: Saturday 25 November 2017 Opening Night: Wednesday 15 November 2017 Evening performances on Monday to Saturday at 7.30pom Matinee performances on Saturdays and on Thursday 23 November at 2.30pm Box office Website: www.wmc.org.uk Telephone: 029 2063 6464 Age recommendation 8+ (no under 2 yrs.)

The regeneration of Cardiff Bay is now widely regarded as one of the most successful regeneration projects in the United Kingdom.[1] The Bay is supplied by two rivers (Taff and Ely) to form a 500-acre (2.0 km2) freshwater lake round the former dockland area south of the city centre. The Bay was formerly tidal, with access to the sea limited to a couple of hours each side of high water but now provides 24 hour access through three locks[2] . History Cardiff Bay played a major part in Cardiff’s development by being the means of exporting coal from the South Wales Valleys to the rest of the world, helping to power the industrial age. The coal mining industry helped fund the building of Cardiff into the Capital city of Wales and helped the Third Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, become the richest man in the world at the time. As Cardiff exports grew, so did its population; dockworkers and sailors from across the world settled in neighbourhoods close to the docks, known as Tiger Bay, and communities from up to 45 different nationalities, including Norwegian, Somali, Yemeni, Spanish, Italian, Caribbean and Irish helped create the unique multicultural character of the area.

  • Review of 20,000 Saints
    Review of Twenty thousand saints , a novel by Fflur Dafydd Talybont (Ceredigion), Alcemi, 2008, pp 251 Why should an award-winning young Welsh writer turn to English for her third novel? To reach a wider audience, according to conventional wisdom. But for Fflur Dafydd, who won the prose medal at the 2006 Eisteddfod with her Welsh language novel Atyniad, the answer is not that simple. It is about finding her voice: 'Writing in Welsh is completely different to writing in English; because fewer writers are writing in Welsh, there is so much more to be done, and there is real opportunity to be innovative with the way that you use the language. English is different; less vulnerable as a language and therefore more robust and exacting, so that when writing in English I’m less concerned with language innovation and more concerned with finding my own voice and identity within that language.' The novel, 'Twenty Thousand Saints', (Alcemi, 2008) is set on the tiny island of Bardsey, off the north east coast of Wales. Today Bardsey is known (if at all) as a bird watching paradise, but in the 6th century it was an established centre of pilgrimage on a par with Lindisfarne and Iona; three visits to Bardsey were worth a pilgrimage to Rome. There are Arthurian associations, too, as there are almost everywhere in Wales: Merlin is alleged to be buried here (along with twenty thousand Celtic saints, hence the title of the novel), and one theory at least identifies Bardsey as the Isle of Avalon, the last resting place of Arthur and Guinevere.

  • Restoring the 'Mam'
    Restoring the ‘Mam’: Archives, Access and Research into Women’s Pasts in Wales MANDI O’NEILL The history of Welsh people has often been camouflaged in British history yet women have been rendered inconspicuous within their own Welsh history.1 t has been suggested that ‘Welsh women are culturally invisible’2 in a country which has had a predominantly male workforce in its modern history which resulted in a strong cultural identity around I 3 rugby and male voice choirs which excluded women. Welsh women were strongly identified with the domestic sphere and have been represented as a sort of nostalgic, idealised mother: the ‘mam’, the matriarch of the home, waging a constant battle, often in the face of economic deprivation, to keep her home and family clean and well-fed, often at the expense of her own health. ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness’, Public History Review Vol 18 (2011): 47–64 © UTSePress and the author Public History Review | O’Neill could have been her mantra: her reputation – which was all-important – was one of hard work, thrift and piety. Rarely, if ever, working outside the home, social activities revolved around the chapel. Pubs and politics were for the men.4 Government statistics have tended to reinforce the somewhat homogenous, domestic view of Welsh women. In the mid interwar period, only twenty-one percent of women in Wales were recorded as economically active5 although oral history interviews reveal that women did take on additional work, often in the home, to supplement family income.6 While the idealised ‘mam’ is rooted firmly in the coalmining communities of the South Wales Valleys, there were plenty of women in urban areas such as Cardiff and Swansea and large parts of rural Wales who did not conform to this image.

After all this time anticipating her arrival true, Jodie Whittaker’s first series as the Doctor has been and gone, so we’re dedicating a lot of coverage this issue to it. We’ve got everything from reviews of the series by new president Victoria Walker, to predictions from society stalwart Ian Bayley, ratings from Francis Stojsavljevic, and even some poetry from Will Shaw. But we’re not just looking at Series Eleven. We’re looking back too, with debates on the merits of the Capaldi era, a spirited defence of The Time of the Doctor, and drifting back through the years, even a look at the Virgin New Adventures!
