Holocaust play Kindertransport to feature at Galeri, Caernarfon

Oct 15 2008 By Daniel Bissett

THIS autumn, Aberystwyth Arts Centre Productions are proud to be touring the award-winning international hit Kindertransport to seven venues across Wales, including Galeri.

Written by Diane Samuels and directed by Dan Danson, Kindertransport is the moving story of a mother and daughter.

Faith unravels her mother’s past to discover she was once a Jewish orphan sent to the UK in 1939 to escape the Holocaust.

This acclaimed piece was first staged at the Soho Theatre in London, before transferring to the West End and Broadway, and a subsequent critically acclaimed world tour.

Marketing officer Rhys Hopkin said: "This is an incredibly emotional piece of writing, based on the testimonies of Kindertransport survivors, and we are pleased to be able to offer it to a Welsh audience for the very first time."

Kindertransport will be performed in Caernarfon on Tuesday, October 21, at 12.30pm and 6.30pm.

Tickets are available now at the box office on (01286) 685222 or online at www.galericaernarfon.com
