Partnership with Theatre Y Byd

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council Cultural Services and Theatr y Byd in partnership, were delighted to bring the World Premiere of local critically acclaimed playwright Laurence Allen's outstanding new work, Flowers From Tunisia.

A Fantastic Development

Bringing the World Premiere of a new drama by a playwright of Laurence Allen's stature to a Rhondda Cynon Taf council venue is a fantastic development -

• it continues Cultural Services' incredibly important developments in contemporary drama within the borough
• it positvely assists in raising the profile of The Muni Arts Centre as a local resource of national significance
• it also enables us to support the regeneration of Pontypridd by celebrating a local cultural icon.

Theatr Y Byd in Residence

The Muni was delighted to invite Theatr y Byd to rehearse at the venue in the run-up to the premiere.  The company used the Circle Gallery as their base, before transfering the performance on to the floor of the main auditorium.

The launch of the new play happened on the night of the premiere, which added to the very memorable evening, the play being incredibly well-received by the sell-out audience.  Theatr y Byd then toured the play through Wales, ending at The Sherman Theatre in Cardiff.
