Cast Announced for MY LAND'S SHORE

The passionate new musical from Wales is a tale of conflict, social injustice, moral dilemmas, guilt, love and heartbreak, with Music and Lyrics by Christopher J Orton and Book and Lyrics by Robert Gould.

The show tells the story of Dic Penderyn a Welsh labourer and coal miner who lived in Merthyr Tydfil who was involved with the Merthyr Rising of 3 June 1831. In the course of the riot he was arrested alongside Lewis Lewis, one of the primary figures in the uprising, and charged with stabbing a soldier with a bayonet. The people of Merthyr Tydfil doubted his guilt, and signed a petition for his release. However, he was found guilty and hanged on 13 August. After his death he was treated as a martyr in Merthyr and across Britain.

For its first staged production, the Creative Team is headed by Director Brendan Matthew, Musical Director Aaron Clingham, Choreographer Charlotte Tooth and Designer Joana Dias all of which were nominated for Off West End Awards for their work on THE KISSING DANCE.
