Cancellation Announcement
Despite all our efforts, and even with a heroic standby cast, it’s now come to the point that we’re not able to go ahead with tonight’s performance of Petula.
This decision has been taken with the safety of audiences, artists and staff in mind, and we’re so sad that we can’t share this cosmic adventure with you at Aberystwyth. Ticketholders are in the process of being contacted. Thank you for your understanding.
National Theatre Wales and Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru with August012 present
PETULA
by Fabrice Melquiot
Adapted and Translated by Daf James
Concept and Direction by Mathilde Lopez
Age Restriction: 12+
How the hell do you grow up when the world around you is falling apart?
Pwdin Evans is on a mission. There’s so much in this world he can no longer deal with; his ridiculous parents, step-parents, the weight of his teenage worries, gravity, all of it. So, he launches himself into space, in search of answers and his missing cousin Petula.
National Theatre Wales, Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru and August012 are joining forces to bring you a brand-new production of Fabrice Melquiot’s extraordinary play. Directed by Mathilde Lopez with a script by Daf James that mixes Welsh, English and a little French.
An unforgettable and surreal mix of dark comedy and adventure. A visual feast about relationships, language and love. Petula will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before!
