Director Francesca Goodridge said:
“Bringing Our Town to life with a fully Welsh cast and creative team is a gift. The talent at the heart of this production is perfectly matched with the journeys through life, love, and death the play celebrates within the close-knit community.”
Michael Sheen added:
“This is an incredible opportunity to present a Welsh interpretation of a classic which tours our nation and takes our voice to London, giving Welsh talent a platform to perform.”
