STOURBRIDGE’S Glasshouse Arts Centre is getting set to premiere another new piece of theatre penned by internationally-renowned playwright Peter Oswald.
Following the success of previous collaborations with the Glasshouse, the top writer - whose plays have been performed at national theatres, in the West End and on Broadway - has written The Gododdin especially for the Amblecote theatre, where it will be performed by staff and students from the Glasshouse College on May 25, 26 and 27.
Being directed by the Glasshouse’s artistic director Mike Chase - the play brings Oswald’s passion, humour and his wrestling with spirituality, Christianity, reincarnation and karma together in a modern mystery drama.
Oswald, a former writer in residence at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre who is currently completing Schiller's unfinished play Demetrius for the National Theatre, brought Short Shrifts, a series of ten-minute plays about marriage in which he also starred, to the arts centre in Wollaston Road 12 months ago.
And in 2009 the writer and performer worked with the college’s students, who have learning disabilities, to bring to life his original drama The Temple about brotherhood, love, jelousy and murder.
Tickets for The Gododdin are available from the Glasshouse Arts Centre box office on 01384 399430.
