Amit Gupta directs this adaptation of Owen Sheers' debut novel starring Andrea Riseborough and Michael Sheen. It's 1944 and D-Day has failed. The United Kingdom is now under Nazi occupation. In the remote Welsh village of Olchon, farmer's wife Sarah Lewis (Riseborough) wakes up one morning to find her husband has mysteriously disappeared along with all the other men in the village. Then, as they wait for news, a German patrol arrives in their valley on an undisclosed mission. During the harsh winter that follows, the two groups are forced to pull together to survive the last days of the war. Cut off from the conflict around them, both the villagers and the Nazis find the lines between collaboration, duty, occupation and survival becoming less defined as time goes on...
This is the first detailed examination of land alienation and land use by white settlers in an Australian colony. It treats the first decades of settlement in Van Diemen's Land, encompassing the effects of the European invasion on Aboriginal society, the early history of environmental degradation, the island's society history and the growth of primary industry. The book presents vivid insights into nineteenth-century society, where wool was so useless that it was burnt, and farmers lived in fear of bushrangers and Aborigines. We see how individuals were constrained by the rigid expectations of race, class and gender in a society where no white man ever stood trial for rape or murder of a black. Drawing on contemporary diaries and letters, as well as government statistics, manuals for intending settlers and newspaper reports, Sharon Morgan has built up a comprehensive picture of the significance of landscape and land use in early colonial society.
Kevin Allen directs this erotic comedy adaptation of Dylan Thomas's 1954 radio play. Set in the fictional Welsh fishing village of Llareggub, the story follows the lives and shenanigans of the residents who share their thoughts and dreams through the medium of poetry, including two-time widow Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard (Buddug Verona James), the music-obsessed Organ Morgan (Aneirin Hughes), good-time girl Polly Garter (Charlotte Church) and the old, blind seaman Captain Cat (Rhys Ifans).
Featuring three plays produced by the Hijinx Theatre, this collection is both stirring and diverse. "Paul Robeson Knew My Father" is the story of a young boy growing up in the South Wales Valleys in the 1950s. The son of a single mother, he is an isolated child who becomes obsessed with Paul Robeson, the movie star, and retreats into a fantasy world of spies and fighter pilots while struggling to find out the truth about his father. "Dreaming Amelia," inspired by Amelia Earhart's landing in Burry Port in 1928, reveals how the success of one person can inspire others to have the courage to follow their dreams; while "Spinning the Round Table," a take on the love triangle of Arthurian legend, explores love and betrayal in the corridors of power.
