Travis

It’s also a grown-up record. ’10 Songs’ is a record about the way life comes at love and what love does to weather those challenges. “This is no rehearsal/This is the take,” sings Fran at the beginning of Waving At The Window, over an insistent piano hook, “Promises you once kept/Are going to break Every track on this album carries an even load. No passengers here. Nowhere to hide. “I write songs in an antiquated way,” explains their creator, “Sitting at the bottom of the bed, ‘pouring my simple sorrow to the sound hole and my knee’, as Joni Mitchell put it.” As a songwriter based in L.A., Fran Healy doesn’t need anyone to tell him this is no longer how it’s done. It’s far from uncommon for the credits on successful modern pop songs to feature upwards of ten writers. “It’s fine,” notes Fran, “Personally though, I’ll take ten songs written by one person over one song written by ten people. And if I feel that way, then surely someone else must do too.”

As tensions rise, Tosca must navigate a labyrinth of blackmail and betrayal, making an impossible decision between love and survival. Tosca is a fast-paced operatic thriller and Puccini’s unforgettable score heightens every moment of drama, from the spine-tingling aria Te deum to the raw beauty of Vissi d’arte.

And a passionate demand to cherish every moment, right now, while we still can. Our Town is American playwright Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece, and this new production sees the story through a Welsh lens, bringing new life and vivid resonance for modern audiences. When Dylan Thomas created his own version of village life in Under Milk Wood, it’s said that he knew both Wilder and this play. That common bond makes Our Town the perfect inaugural production of the WNT, showcasing the finest talent Welsh in a play with universal and timeless resonance. Michael Sheen said: “Our Town is a play about life, love and community. That’s what matters to us in Wales; that’s what matters to me. It’s a play that compels us to celebrate the everyday, to hold the ones we cherish. I can’t think of a better play to welcome audiences around Wales and in London to the Welsh National Theatre, along with our co-production partners The Rose Theatre.”
