Now the Hero

This immersive experience will take the audience on an extraordinary journey, starting on Swansea Bay and leading to the Brangwyn Hall. Marc Rees’s bold production through three interweaving stories of war are brought to life with a counterpoint of peace and hope. He takes his inspiration from an epic poem, an intimate portrait of a serving Swansea soldier and the British Empire Panels. At the heart of each performance is a Requiem with a libretto by BAFTA-winning writer Owen Sheers and sung by Polyphony, Stephen Layton’s world famous choir. The music is composed by Owen Morgan Roberts, realised from an original collaboration with the late, Oscar-nominated J?hann J?hannsson.
