Windsongs Of The Blessed Day

Synopsis:
Memory, myth and history collide in this beautiful and compelling tale of a brave young Welsh woman, blind since birth, who sets out from Pembrokeshires St Brides Bay in her dead grandfather's fishing boat to make the great catch he had always dreamed of. Guided by a cormorant, she meets a variety of colourful characters in this spectacular and moving dramatic experience, rich in the songs and stories which bind Wales and the world. Windsongs is a family show featuring a cast of top Welsh acting talent, the haunting songs of Boys for the Hill folk favourite Andy Tamlyn Jones, and the extraordinary puppetry techniques of Singaporean puppet master Benjamin Ho.
