Quotes:
“I was involved in staging a Concert Production of ‘My Land’s Shore’ back in 2007. I was drawn in by its powerful story and its beautiful, soaring score...a Welsh Les Mis!”
Craig Revel Horwood, Director / Choreographer
“Orton & Gould have written a soaring, passionate and hauntingly melodic score for a story which, though set in 1831, has a resonance and relevance in today's Eurozone era, when so many countries are vying to retain a sense of their own identity and individuality. In this musical from Wales, the land of song, it is great to witness two emerging songwriters with the drive to see their project through to fruition.”
George Stiles Anthony Drewe, Olivier-winning writing team
“It's about time there was a musical set in Wales! This has grit, panache, melody and a big future. A musical for Wales and hopefully the world!”
Caroline Sheen, Actress
