Take a front-row seat for a fascinating journey through the evolution of Welsh theatres in the twentieth century with historian Rob Firman. In this illustrated talk, explore how the theatre landscape changed from the end of the Victorian era to the dawn of the new millennium.

Discover the forces that shaped theatre development in Wales, from philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and industry before WWI to the rise of moving pictures and memorial theatres between the wars.
