Theatr Clwyd’s Dark Comedy, Pavilion Transfers To Newport’s Riverfront Theatre

Friday night. Music pounds, lager flows, lust ignites, and fists fly. This run-down spa town in a forgotten corner of Wales is filled with big personalities and even bigger egos.

The scene is set for Pavilion, a new dark comedy by Emily White and directed by Theatr Clwyd’s Artistic Director Tamara Harvey comes to Newport’s Riverfront Theatre this autumn.
