WORDS, WORDS, WORDS to Play Leicester Square Theatre in May

Lowri Amies will present WORDS, WORDS, WORDS from May 16th - May 21st 2016 at Leicester Square Theatre. Press Night: May 16th 2016, 7pm.

Critically acclaimed Cambridge University Footlights and Royal Central alumna Lowri Amies bears all in her new play Words, Words, Words, to be performed at the King's Head Theatre and the Leicester Square Theatre this Spring. An exploration of the grieving process, Lowri interweaves Shakespeare with personal stories to shed light on a subject which goes largely unacknowledged and unsupported, especially amongst young people - the death of a parent.

When Lowri lost her mother, she lost her voice. The vocabulary of her childhood disintegrated, the old words failed to fit the new story. Denial, shock...acceptance? Can she rewrite a version of herself which can speak these new words? Words, Words, Words is one girl's attempt to confront grief in her own voice amidst a sea of others. As an actor, she can borrow Shakespeare's words to play many parts - Juliet, Rosalind, Macbeth, Hamlet - but can she play herself?

The show premièred as part of the Black Box Festival at the Etcetera Theatre in January, and his since played dates at the Miller Theatre and King's Head Theatre. Given the universality of its message and subject matter, it was not only extremely well received by the artistic community, but also generated interest from the healthcare profession
