Welcome
Welcome to your guide to all that’s in store at Chapter this
July. This month our Gallery welcomes a new exhibition. Thirteen
Blackbirds Look at a Man (p4–7) is a group show that takes us on
a stroll away from daily life and into an imaginative place that
draws on fairy tales and myth with a good dose of humour.
If you’re envious of all those people heading up to the
Edinburgh festival this summer, worry not, our stage is set for
previews of key shows that will be travelling from Wales. You can
enjoy a plethora of comedy — from Little Wander Comedy
Weekends (p14-15) from the people behind Machynlleth Comedy
Festival and Cardiff Comedy Festival (p17) to the wonderfully
interactive theatrical world of Flossy and Boo’s Curiosity Shop
(p16) — catch them all before they run off to Edinburgh!
Our cinema has a selection of great family films to entertain
the kids during the summer holidays, from Jurassic World (p31) to
the ever popular Minions (p31) and our education officer Matt will
be on hand with Film Activity Days too (p32–33).
It’s a busy month, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Thanks for reading and see you soon!

Thirteen Blackbirds Look at a Man
Fiona MacDonald, Cathie Pilkington,
Annie Whiles & Sean Ashton
Preview: Fri 10 July 6-8pm
Exhibition: Sat 11 July — Sun 6 Sep
The artists in this exhibition seek out resonance and
allegiance through myth. Whatever the demands of
contemporary fashion, their work follows an
instinctive urge, to a place where the day-to-day
recedes and allows for the fruiting strangeness of
the imaginative realm.
We live in a complex world in which connectivity once seen as magical - can now be understood in
rational ways. And yet there is always a surplus, an
inexplicable knowledge: mythology supplies a
reservoir of elaboration on these ‘mysteries’. It is a
place where (an) allegorised, complicated series of
events can attempt to demystify the laws of nature
Exhibition open:
Tuesday, Wednesday,
Saturday & Sunday 12–6pm;
Thursday & Friday 12–8pm;
closed Monday
and the universe, whilst remaining fantastically
impervious to reason. It is a domain that embraces
contradiction and caprice and at times the cruelty
and drama of the stories is breathtaking.
These artists commit themselves, entering the space
of the instinctual with some urgency and a handful of
humour. Their works have a quality of unfolding to
reveal ideas of visual mysticism, neo-religious
feeling, or dark import. The characters may originally
have been sourced from real life, Bible stories, Greek
myths or German fairy tales, but all are forged and
formed by allegiance to a particular quality of ‘sacred
narrative’.
06
Fiona MacDonald draws on the
cultural rules of fairy tale and the
imagination, where the traditional
hierarchy between human, animal
and plant dissolves, to explore
ideas around uncertainty,
hybridity and interdependence.
www.fionamacdonald.co.uk
Cathie Pilkington creates pieces
from a vast array of materials,
adopting ready-made elements,
which are freely assembled, as
well as incorporating modelling,
carving, painting and other
finishes to her works.
www.marlboroughfineart.com
Annie Whiles works with art as a
suspect activity. She is interested
in who magic belongs to, as a kind
of cultural lost property. Her work
refers to an emblematic language,
ceremonial, ritualistic and social
artefacts of affiliation in the form
of woodcarving, hand embroidery,
drawing and film.

Gallery
Sean Ashton is a liar based in
London. Recent lies include ‘Mr
Heggarty Goes Down’, a story
about an academic who uses his
body to test out his philosophy of
radical contingency; and ‘The
Portrait of Cary Grant’, a satire on
a collector of celebrity artworks. In
2007 he published a book of lies,
‘Sunsets and Dogshits’ (Alma
Books), a collection of reviews of
apocryphal artworks, books,
sporting events and other cultural
phenomena.
This exhibition is financially supported by the
Henry Moore Foundation, Goldsmiths University
of London, and The Centre for Culture and the
Arts at Leeds Beckett University. With thanks to
Marlborough Fine Art, London.
A publication with text by Sean Ashton
has been produced to accompany the
exhibition and will be available to buy for
just £10 from our box office in August.

chapter.org
Fri 3 July 7pm
‘Looking at this picture, it’s an everyday landscape,
nothing particularly striking. It’s 2013, I’m dancing
Rikuzentakata-ondo with Tomoko, Katsuko, Hikari ,
Abe-san and Sugawara-san, standing at the top of
Home For All in Takekoma. J-san takes a photo and
captures this moment in time.
Taking the eye beyond the dance, this is where
Rikuzentakata City stood, a home to all its residents,
the tsunami of 2011 washed away their homes,
a whole city in a matter of minutes; twenty thousand
lives were lost in the Tohoku region. Our media
transmits the news of devastation for only a few
days, there is no longer a strong image to broadcast;
have we already forgotten?
Without viewing from a distance, our arts and culture
slowly, step-by-step reduce our distance of
understanding, like the post man who delivers a
message to our doorstep. When space is taken away,
we realise its importance; dance is related to life and
living is felt.’
Residency artists: J.Pacena II (Philippines), Leo van der Kleij
(Netherlands), Tawatchai Pattanaporn (Thailand), Cornelia
Konrads (Germany) and Sioned Huws (Wales).
Free but ticketed, please contact our box office for tickets.
Supported by Rikuzentakata Artist in Residency Program 2013-15 and
Wales Arts International.
Larvae
Fri 10 + Sat 11 July 8pm
Larvae is the story of our external world, reflected
through internal thoughts, feelings, dreams and
memories which we experience throughout our lives.
This dance and movement piece focuses on the
internal changes reflecting our outward appearance,
to build a shape, structure, colour and pattern of the
human body.
Are we looking to or are we looking from? What can
we see as an individual and what can we see as a
group? How do we use that experience for our own
development and wellbeing? Our environment is our
reflection, what are we doing about that? Are we
limited in self–expression? Do we really need a frame
or structures? Are we really independent?
Larvae follows on from dance / movement showcase
M: Brio, which was presented in September 2014 at
the Riverfront Arts Centre, Newport. Larvae is the
second phase of Theatr Ffynnon’s project
Metamorfoza and based on the four stages of human
development.
LARVAE will be performed by nine members of Theatr Ffynnon.
Choreographer/Director: Aleksandra Jones.
Director /Producer: Patricia O’Sullivan.
Creative Assistan: Lisa Harris.
Lighting design: Hristo Takov
A Q&A will be held after the performances on both evenings
with a cartoonist and facilitated by Theatr Ffynnon’s Director
Patricia O’Sullivan. and Choreographer/Director Aleksandra
Jones.

De Oscuro in association with Chapter and
Wales Millennium Centre present
Triptych
Thousands of veterans’ minds are tormented by the things they witnessed and actions they performed in
the line of duty. Loss of limb is visible; mental pain is not — and so is more easily dismissed. Many try to
hide it because they feel ashamed and, as a consequence, their situation deteriorates. Their family
suffers. Marital breakdown is common. Suicide rates are high.
A heart-rending installation of talking heads, a compelling family saga and an exhilarating duet for two
male dancers. Together, they offer a shocking, darkly humorous and profoundly moving insight into the
significant consequences of taking up arms ‘for Queen and country’.

Torch Theatre Company present
Grav
Mon 27 — Thu 30 July 8pm
In October 2007 Ray Gravell, a man who for many
embodied what it is to be Welsh, passed away. He
was 56 years old.
Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the
rugby field, ‘Grav’ was and is so much more than that.
An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, a man
with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be
heard once more.
The Torch Theatre Company presents Gareth Bale as
‘Grav’ in a play written by Owen Thomas that
celebrates the man and the legend. With the blessing
of Mari, Ray’s widow, and contributions from his
Welsh and British Lions team mates, this one man
show will explore the life of a man who was as
fascinating away from the rugby field as he was on it.
Directed by the Torch Theatre’s Artistic Director Peter
Doran, ‘Grav’ will remind the world once more of a
unique life well lived and of a man who did so much
more than eat soft centres.

Sun 12 July 8pm
A computer virus has been created, so powerful it
could annihilate the World Wide Web. Judi Stench,
head of Mi69, calls on James Bondage for help, and
with the aid of his secretary, Miss Moneyshot, agent
Double D from the Thai Secret Service and the
brothers Brigyn (Welsh pop duo), Bondage has 60
minutes to find whoever’s responsible, and save the
web.
No Wê, is a new club show by BAFTA award winning
writer Barry ‘Archie’ Jones. It will tour Wales, before
closing in the Montgomeryshire and the Marches
National Eisteddfod this August.
Huw M is Welsh composer and performer Huw
Meredydd Roberts who is joined by Lucy Simmonds on
cello, Bethan Mai on vocals and accordion and Iolo
Whelan on drums and percussion. Together they play
a mix of original melodies and borrowed Welsh folk
songs, with influences from across the globe,
creating haunting, intelligent music.
Stuart Maconie on BBC 6 Music referred to Huw M’s
first single as a “Stunningly beautiful piece of music”.
His second album, Gathering Dusk, was short-listed
for the Welsh Music Prize.
For this gig at Chapter, Huw M presents songs from
his third album (to be released in the autumn) his first
on the wonderful I Ka Ching label. For this release,
Huw has been working with The Marshall Sisters from
Cardiff to blend early Gospel with Welsh Folk, and a
good dollop of poignancy, heartbreak and hiraeth.

After a run-in with some soldiers, Jay teams up with

tourist Konrad from drowning, but fails to save his
other friend. The intimacy of their shared experience
sparks a relationship and Donato leaves everything
behind, including his ailing mother and younger
brother, Ayrton, to travel back to Berlin with Konrad.
Once there his journey for love soon turns into a
deeper search for his own identity and, eight years

In the 1970s two cousins took control of grindhouse

ethics, debatable taste but unquestionable passion,
made some of the most memorable films of the
1980s. An alternative studio associated with stars
such as Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson and Jean
Claude Van Damme and known for creating films such
as Breakin, King Solomon’s Mines, Lifeforce and
masterpieces such as Zeffirelli’s Otello, this is a romp
through Hollywood legend.

In 1947, an aging Sherlock Holmes returns from a

seaside farmhouse, Holmes faces the end of his days
tending to his bees, with only the company of his

mysteries of life and love before it’s too late.
After the death of his mother, a troubled and angry 11
year old orphan named Stet ends up at a choir
school. Completely out of his element, he finds
himself in a battle of wills with a demanding
choirmaster who recognizes a unique talent in this
young boy as he pushes him to discover his creative

A disgraced small town detective reunites with a

Ray Milland
Born Reginald Truscott-Jones in Neath, Ray worked as a horse trainer in Cardiff until he took up acting. He
tried his luck in Hollywood, where he became a star and later took the reins himself and became a director,
making some cult classics in between roles. Celebrated for his easy humour and powerful performances, we
are taking a look at this Welsh Great’s varied and extraordinary career.
Dial M for Murder
Hostile Witness
USA/1954/101mins/PG. Dir: Alfred Hitchcock. With: Ray Milland,

UK/1967/101mins/U. Dir: Ray Milland. With: Ray Milland, Sylvia
Syms, Felix Aylmer.
Former tennis pro Tony Wendice suspects that his
wealthy wife Margot is fooling around with a
handsome American, so he blackmails a disgraced
former army colleague into murdering her and making
it look like the work of a burglar. But Wendice’s
scheme does not take into account that Margot
might fight back. This is a tightly wound thriller,
with Milland oozing suburban menace.
When the daughter of Simon Crawford, a successful
barrister, is killed in a hit and run accident and the
police are unable to find the culprit, Crawford swears
that he will find the driver and take revenge. However,
his fury sees him embroiled in a mystery where the
clues lead him closer to home than he ever expected.

Stephen Neale has just been released from an asylum

Greene.

The Wrecking Crew
Fri 10 — Wed 15 July
USA/2015/95mins/12A. Dir: Denny Tedesco.
A loose group of West Coast musicians trained on movie scores
and jingles were asked by Brian Wilson to provide backing for Pet
Sounds due to their “spirit and know-how” and the wrecking
crew was born. Over the next decade the riffs, licks and
flourishes that became the iconic west coast sound was
provided by the band. Some wreckers like Glen Campbell and
Leon Russell became stars but many like the director’s father
Tommy Tedesco remained in obscurity, uncredited in best-selling
albums by Sonny and Cher, The Monkees, The Byrds and Simon
and Garfunkel. A fun and moving tribute to the men behind the
music, who rode the cultural wave.
Eden
Fri 31 July — Thu 6 Aug
France/2014/131mins/subtitles/15. Dir: Mia Hansen-Løve.
With: Félix de Givry, Pauline Etienne, Greta Gerwig.
Beginning in the early 90s and unfolding over two decades, this
is the story of club kid Paul and his friends, growing up in the
development of the creatively fertile “French touch” electronic
music scene. Moving swiftly from illegal raves to international
success for groups such as Daft Punk, we see the reality of
those whose lives were intertwined with the success. Fresh
beats and euphoria give way to mellow melancholia as Paul
struggles to balance the intoxicating pursuit of his art without
losing love and health.
The Ecstasy of
Wilko Johnson
Fri 24 — Thu 30 July
UK/2015/91mins/adv15. Dir: Julien Temple.
The extraordinary story of legendary
musician Wilko Johnson who, diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer and given a few
months to live, accepted his fate and
embarked on a farewell tour. But like
every good story Wilko’s has a twist in its
tail. Two years later, confounding the

confronting our worst nightmares of
impending death and turning them upside
down.

At a prestigious American university Sam, an acidtongued media arts student, begins to use her radio

Everyman is successful, popular and riding high when
Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life
he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to
recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defence. But
Death is close behind, and time is running out. One of
the great primal, spiritual myths, a cornerstone of
English drama since the 15th century, it now
explodes onto the stage in a startling production with
words by Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, and
movement by Javier De Frutos.
In 1970s East Germany, Nelly makes the decision to
escape from behind the Berlin wall with her son
Alexej, after her boyfriend Wassilij goes missing
presumed dead. Pretending to marry a West German,
she crosses the border to start a new life. But soon
her past starts to haunt her as the Allied Secret
Service question Wassilij’s mysterious

forced to choose between discovering the truth
about her former lover and her hopes for a better
tomorrow.

But since Antonio’s wealth is tied up in seafaring
business ventures, he borrows the cash from
moneylender Shylock. Thanks to simmering racial
tensions, there’s no love lost between the two men.
Shylock insists on a bond stipulating that if the debt
is not repaid by an agreed date, he will take a pound
of Antonio’s flesh. Then news arrives that Antonio’s

A five-day musical theatre extravaganza. This weeklong summer school for 8–12 year olds will explore
the world of Disney’s Frozen. Participants will learn
the songs, recreate the scenes, and develop new
and existing performance skills. So if you love Frozen
and you love acting, then this is the summer school
for you! Participants will be working towards an open
performance at the end of the week in Chapter’s main
Theatre space.
A packed lunch and an extra bottle of water will be required
each day.

Animation Extra!
Summer Animation Workshops for young people
on the Autistic Spectrum.
Mon 3 + Mon 10 + Mon 17 + Mon 20 Aug 10.30am,
12.30pm + 2.30pm each day
Due to the high demand and popularity of these
excellent hands-on, practical workshops for young
people on the autistic spectrum, we are running an
extra twelve workshops this summer. Places are
limited for each workshop and spaces will be
allocated on a first come first served basis. The
workshops offer each participant the opportunity to
embark on their own learning journey, whilst
developing new and existing skills in a supportive,
social environment. No experience of animation is
necessary, so if you’ve taken part in one of our tenweek courses before, or are looking to create an
animation for the first time we’d love to see you here!
£12 per session or £40 for 4 sessions (1 per week)
For more information about any of our courses and how to enrol
please contact learning@chapter.org
