On Bear Ridge
“(The) score uses mysterious Welsh language throat-singing to call back a tribal, folkloric past.”
“One of Wales’ most celebrated writers, Ed Thomas (co-creator of Hinterland) makes a momentous return to the stage with this semi-autobiographical story about the places we leave behind, the indelible marks they make on us, and the unreliable memories we hold onto.”
John Hardy Music created the music for the National Theatre Wales and Royal Court Theatre co-production of Ed Thomas’ new play On Bear Ridge starring Rakie Ayola, Rhys Ifans, Jason Hughes & Sion Daniel Young.
