AUDIENCES at Rhosygilwen have the chance of a brief encounter with one of Noel Coward's best-loved works ton Saturday, September 26.
Lighthouse Theatre Company presents a double bill of Coward's shorter plays at the Cilgerran venue at 8pm.
One has remained generally unknown, the other was immortalised in a masterpiece of cinema, Brief Encounter.
The one-act sketch Mild Oats, written in 1922 when Coward was just 23 years old, reveals his sharp, emerging talent as a writer. Mild Oats tells the bitter sweet comedy of a couple who have come back to a flat late at night for one purpose, who soon find something very different happening.
Still Life is much more famous. This short play, first produced in London in 1936, was adapted by Coward himself for the great David Lean film, Brief Encounter.
The pair are performed by this small-scale touring company – affectionately thought of by some as a pocket-sized ‘National Theatre Mumbles’ – whose reputation stretches much further, as far in fact as Argentina.
Tickets at £8 can be booked online at www.rhosygilwen.co.uk
