Synopsis: | A comedy set in the 1960's. It takes a fond look at the life of the Welsh Baptist Chapel, at a time when the chapel was still at the centre of most village life in South Wales. The Griffiths family prepare for their anniversary services at Bethel and the arrival of the 'Big Preacher'. As part of the celebrations, the chapel is to select a new 'deacon' and Edward Griffiths is, once again, standing for office, having failed several times in his attempts to be raised to this very important position of authority. Whilst the manners, the language and the beliefs at the heart of this world have all but disappeared, Edward's longing for position and acknowledgement by his peers, is a universal longing and his pettiness and pomposity are all too real. A simple setting, where a sense of the period and place is deeply important and five characters, all of whom offer depth and challenge for actors, make this a compelling, warm and touching piece of theatre. Winner of the DAW Crawshay Cup for Best Original Script 2007. | |||||
