TENBY, WALES, March 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) Pembrokeshire's Torch Theatre is preparing to stage Flowers from Tunisia, a play by Welsh dramatist Laurence Allan.
Running from Thursday May 5th to Saturday May 14th, the production will be the first run of shows overseen by the Milford Haven venue's new associate director Simon Harris.
Described by the theatre as "a delightful, touching and thoroughly absorbing play with flowing dialogue", Flowers from Tunisia was praised by critics when first performed in 2005.
It tells the story of Reah, a woman experiencing the early stages of dementia who shocks her ex-serviceman son by suddenly becoming engaged to Khalid, a teenage Tunisian flower seller.
The play takes a wryly humorous and touching look at themes such as love, friendship, memory, youth and tradition.
Tickets are priced at GBP13.50, with each performance due to begin in the Studio Theatre at 19:45 BST.
Other events taking place at the Torch Theatre in May include Broadway and Beyond, The Rat Pack and The Way it Was, an exhibition of work by photographer Chris Rees.
People planning to attend a performance will find a wide range of hotels in Tenby at LateRooms.com, which features the Fourcroft Hotel Tenby.
