Theatr Clwyd and Torch Theatre are delighted to announce the cast for their upcoming co-production, Kill Thy Neighbour. Written by Wrexham-born Lucie Lovatt, Kill Thy Neighbour is Lucie’s first full-length play, a dark comedy about love, murder and feeling trapped in your own life.
Welcome to the village with views to die for…
Caryl and Meirion have lived in their postcard-perfect village for years – raising a family, repeatedly decorating, whilst watching their community slowly disappear.
Now Caryl wants to escape, but Meirion defiantly wants to stay.
Is it loyalty?
Belonging?
Some familiar faces are returning to the Theatr Clwyd stage for this production including Victoria John (Celebrated Virgins, Truth or Dare) as Caryl and Catrin Stewart (Cat on A Hot Tin Roof) as Seren. The venue welcomes Jamie Redford (Emmerdale, ITV) as Gareth, Gus Gordon (The Sandman, Netflix) as Max and Dafydd Emyr (Danny The Champion Of The World, Sherman Theatre) as Meirion.
The creative team includes Set and Costume Design: Elin Steele, Lighting Design: Lucía Sánchez Roldán, Composer and Sound Design: Tic Ashfield, Assistant Director: Ellie Rose, Casting Director: Polly Jerrold, Company Stage Manager: Alec Reece, Deputy Stage Manager: Tyla Thomas, Assistant Stage Manager: Emma Hardwick.
The show is a co-production with Torch Theatre, directed by Artistic Director, award-winning Chelsey Gillard. Chelsey Gillard said ‘Kill Thy Neighbour is both hilarious and spooky – my favourite combination. It speaks to issues directly affecting many communities in Wales and has such heart. I am passionate about new writing and new voices on our stages, this is Lucie’s first play and is beautifully crafted and entertaining. The Torch is thrilled to be working in collaboration with Theatr Clwyd to bring this play to life and I can’t wait to share it with audiences in Mold and Milford Haven’
