Synopsis:
the premiere of Gabriela Preissova's Czech masterpiece, later forming the basis for J.B. Foerster's famous opera, eva, in its first ever english translation. Written in 1890, this epic drama charts impoverished seamstress eva's downfall. eva's expectations are put to the test as the limitations of love become clear. the claustrophobic class hierarchies, prejudices and gossip of a small village are dissected in this moving tale of sacrifice, loss and hope. This is a script-in-hand performance by the Invertigo Take-over ensemble.

In a chapel service in rural Wales, all is not what it seems. . .The searing stories of My People - darkly comic, poignant, with flashes of savagery - exposes the hypocrisy and avarice nestling side-by-side in a Nonconformist community in the rural West Wales of the early 1900s. The publication of My People caused a literary sensation - denounced in The Western Mail as 'the literature of the sewer', Evans was branded a national traitor. His books were burned in Wales, but in London he was compared with Zola, Gorky, and Joyce. Dylan Thomas later cited "the great Caradoc Evans" as a powerful influence. This radical reimagining makes us question whether the events depicted in these remarkable stories are consigned to the past, or can we discern uncomfortable parallels in our modern life?
