Two one act plays that hope to be in an all-Wales final will be performed at Broneirion, Llandinam, next week.
Theatre comes to Broneirion, the headquarters of the Girl Guides in Wales, on 2nd May in the form of two one act plays which competed at the One Act Play Festival at Berriew in April this month.
The Actors Studio will be presenting ‘Three More Sleepless Nights’, by Caryl Churchill.
"This is a compelling and explosive play about human interaction and complicated relationships, through the eyes of two ill-fated couples. One double bed.
"Two couples. A triptych of love-tangled conversations that expertly twist and turn, from existential angst and sci-fi films, to volatile arguments and long silences. As it explores adult themes, this play is not suitable for children," said a spokesperson for the event.
By contrast, Rebel Alliance’s ‘The portrait of Marie-Therese’, by Tim Parkes and other hands, is a chilling Victorian gothic thriller, full of mystery, intrigue and fear.
"The story seeks out the truth behind the portrait of Marie-Therese that has long been shrouded in a sinister cloak of secrecy. Who was she? What happened to her? Why does death and misfortune seem to follow the painting wherever it hangs?"
The performance will start at 8:00pm with tickets available at £8 on the door and from Ticketsource through the Rebel Alliance Community Theatre Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/rebelalliancenewtown
