Burton's back, as Matthew Rhys takes centre stage
South Wales Evening Post
|September 26, 2025
EMMY Award-winner Matthew Rhys will make an eagerly-awaited return to the Welsh stage this November for the first time in 22 years - in an acclaimed one-man play about Afan Valley acting legend Richard Burton.
The performances of Playing Burton, written by Mark Jenkins and directed by Tony Award-winning director Bartlett Sher, will exclusively visit Welsh venues this November, including Swansea, Bridgend and Cardiff.
The play itself is billed as offering an insight into the actor's life, from his impoverished South Wales beginnings to his rise as one of the greatest performers of his generation.
Charting his passionate love affair with Elizabeth Taylor and his very public struggle with alcoholism, the play promises to be a soulful exploration of fame, ambition, and identity.
