GRAV - live theatre

GRAV is Based on the original Torch Theatre Production, written by Owen Thomas, directed by Peter Doran, and starring Gareth J Bale.
Gareth J Bale reprises the role of ‘Grav’ in this remarkable one-man show exploring the life and times of one of Wales’ most loved sons, Ray Gravell.
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.
As well as touring Wales, Grav has also been performed at The Adelaide Fringe Festival (2024), The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (2015 and 2022), London, New York and Washington DC. Grav will remind the you once more of a unique life well lived and of a man who did so much more than eat soft centres. Whether you are a Rugby fan or not, only the hardest of hearts would fail to enjoy this production...
