Follow on Google News | Gryfhead by Lucy GoughMichael Kelligan’s new season of drama by women writers based in Wales, ‘On the Edge – Deadlier than the Male!’, continues with Lucy Gough’s Gryfhead on Wednesday, 10 March at 7.30pm at the Dylan Thomas Centre.
By: City and County of Swansea What do you do when your brother kills your lover? In a bleak landscape of run down housing, a woman comes to terms with a life defined by the lack and loss of love, in this “savagely funny gothic comedy”. First Boccacio, then John Keats and now Lucy Gough celebrate the determined love of Isabella. In this fast-moving, poetic comedy, reality is questioned, imagination is declared dangerous. A jealous, banana-cake making brother strives to stop our heroine winning the man she loves but even his knife cannot thwart her, though in her battle for life and love success arrives in a very unexpected manner. With Katy Owen, Robert Harper, James Ashton and Alastair Sill, and introducing exciting new director Sita Calvert-Ennals for this script-held performance. Many of Lucy Gough’s stage plays have been professionally performed, and she was a finalist for both the John Whiting Award and BBC Wales Writer of the Year Award (1994) with her play, Crossing The Bar. Her first BBC broadcast was in 1994 with Our Lady of Shadows (BBC Radio 3); since then she has a play of the week on the BBC World Service and has had five plays on BBC Radio 4. Her Radio dramatisation of Wuthering Heights for Radio 4 has been broadcast as the classic serial in Woman's Hour.
