Don’t miss ‘David Lewis’ at the Clarence Hall

Posted: 28th September 2022

‘David Lewis’ is a melodrama being performed at the Clarence Hall by Crickhowell & District Players on two evenings – Friday, 30 September and Saturday, 1 October. 

The melodrama is a whole new experience for the Players and revolves around a fascinating historic story which resulted in a local man, David Lewis, being transported to Tasmania. The idea for the play came from the names of offenders on a list for the Brecon Quarter Sessions in 1853; their crimes and punishments are the basis of the story. Further research into the lives of the working classes of Crickhowell from 1830 onwards helped to formulate the script.

Entry is free to encourage all ages to come along and learn a little more about Crickhowell in the mid 1800s.  The Clarence bar will be open and a cafe style setting will create an informal setting.  To book a seat, please leave a message on 01873 811293.

 

This performance is part of the series of events being organised throughout 2022 by the Clarence Hall and Crickhowell Town Council for the Crickhowell Community.
