Sometime, life is more than lifespan.
A small boy stands in front of 57 other people. 58 people whose voices collectively tell a story. A child of Pontrhydyfen, Phillip Burton, Auntie Cis and Uncle Elfed, the Taibach Draper who gave Rich his first job. Jimmy Porter, Caius Martius Coriolanus, King Arthur. Elizabeth Taylor, his lawyer, Sally Burton, the doctor who begged him to put the bottle down.
58 duologues; some personal, some performance – that see the extraordinary life of Richard Burton flash before his eyes. There is genius and difficulty. Ambition and inspiration. Poetry and cursing. Despair and addiction. Tied together with physical theatre expressions of his greatest and darkest moments.
In a year where we celebrate the acting legend Richard Burton, another iconic Welsh cultural institution the West Glamorgan Youth Theatre Company marked its own 50th birthday by bringing this piece to the Plaza Cinema, Port Talbot.
58 encounters. 58 people. 58 years. One remarkable life.
