Anglesey outlaw

A Welsh female answer to Robin Hood is the subject of musical

- 

DARING new musical based on one of Wales’ most gripping adventure novels is to make its world premiere at a top festival.

Madam Wen, the tale of smugglers, highwaymen and a fearless female outlaw, has been reimagined for the stage by scriptwriter Manon Wyn Williams and set to music by composer Guto Pryderi Puw.

It will be performed for the first time at the Wales International Piano Festival that's being held at Galeri Caernarfon from October 16-20.

Pupils from Ysgol Gynradd Bodedern on Anglesey will join the professional cast of Madam Wen on Friday, October 17, performing alongside soprano Glesni Rhys Jones, pianists Elain Rhys Jones and Angharad Wyn Jones, and percussionist Dewi Ellis Jones.
