"hailed a success... thunderous applause and numerous complimentary comments from audiences."

David recently played the part of butcher Haydn Jenkins in Goat Street Runners, a play commissioned by the Welsh Arts Council and co-produced by the Swansea Grand Theatre before touring to theatres throughout Wales.

 

 

 

In February 1941, the German Luftwaffe began a concerted three-night attack on the town centre of Swansea, destroying over 31 acres of the old mediaeval centre and changing the face and feel of Swansea forever. The Three Nights Blitz, as it was known, claimed over 200 lives, and marked a most traumatic period in the chequered history of the 'ugly, lovely town'. During those three nights, as for cities all over Britain, its survival depended on the gallant work of the Air Raid Precautions personnel, the Home Guard, and everyday people just 'doing their bit'.

 

 

 

Using music from the period, both sung live and as part of an evocative soundscape, Goat Street Runners dramatised the experiences, lives and loves of a fictional family living in a street that was to be removed from the map of Swansea forever.

 

 

 

The play was written by Adrian Metcalfe and directed by Maxine Evans. For further information please visit:
