BTB/St Donats Arts Centre has commissioned composer and Welsh jazz guitar wizard DYLAN FOWLER to work with award-winning storyteller DANIEL MORDEN and fabulous fiddler OLI WILSON DICKSON to create music for a magical new touring show entitled

‘SLEEPING BEAUTY AND ALCESTIS ‘

Forget the panto kitsch – this Sleeping Beauty is a powerful tale of death and rebirth.

Telling Sleeping Beauty alongside the beautiful Greek myth of Alcestis, and underscoring the tales with heart-stopping live music, Daniel, Oliver and Dylan breathe new life into one of our most haunting stories – conjuring timeless images in the mind and stirring deep emotions in the heart.

This performance is very suitable for the over 12s only

She tells myths and legends rooted in landscape, history and memories of Wales, interwoven with song and mixed with tales from further afield.

Her ability to make her Welsh material easily comprehensible to non-Welsh speakers means that she is very much in demand wherever the Welsh language is to be celebrated, and has made a vital contribution to the Welsh language programme of the Beyond The Border Festival at St Donats Castle.

Esyllt’s appearance at the Wales Millennium Centre is part of the WMC’s Welsh Language programme for National Adult Learning Week.
