Re-Live theatre company from Wales

Mill TheatreAfter sell-out performances in Wales Re-Live are travelling to the Bealtaine festival to tell their stories. On Sunday night, 30 May, you can witness this honest, hilarious and unique show, where memory meets theatre and the past becomes present once again.

Combining storytelling, film, photography and music, this show provides a fascinating insight into the lives, loves and reflections of a generation rarely heard on the stage. Re-Live is performed by seven older people from Wales who share memories that are joyous, painful and full of truth.

The company is very excited about bringing their stories to The Mill Theatre, and feel privileged to be a part of the Bealtaine festival 2010. The hour-long performance will be followed by a discussion where we will invite audience members to ask questions or even share some memories of their own!

“Powerful and moving... storytelling at its best”
- Theatre In Wales

To book, contact the Mill Theatre on 01 296 9340. Re-Live is funded by The Arts Council of Wales.
