AN MP is urging residents to see history 'come to life' at Mold's theatre.

David Hanson, MP for Delyn, recently met with Alice Evans, Community Producer at Theatr Clwyd, to discuss the first major community production on the streets of Mold.

Mold riots will have a cast of over 100 and take over the town centre for performances which will retell the story of the Mold Riots of 1869, marking the 150 anniversary of the disturbances.

Tensions between English and Welsh miners erupted in riots which left four people dead. This new large-scale show written by Bethan Marlow and directed by Katie Posner will lead its audience through the same streets where the riots took place.

David Hanson MP said: "The Mold Riots were one of the most important events in our shared history. Not just for Flintshire, but for the country.

"The history of the riots will come to life via the magic of Theatr Clwyd’s world-beating production teams and I hope as many people as possible go to see the production on the very streets where the riots took place."

To get hold of tickets for what is expected to be a fantastic performance people should go to www.theatrclwyd.com or call the theatre box office on 01352 701521. To find out more about any aspect of volunteering and participation in Mold Riots please contact Alice.evans@Theatrclwyd.com

Alice Evans, Community Producer for Theatr Clwyd added: "This is such an exciting time for the Mold town, Flintshire’s Community and Theatr Clwyd to come together and retell this epic event in history.

"What a way to mark the 150th year and end 2019. I am so excited for what October will bring and to engage with more local community members."
