Title: River of Life Project
Travel back in time to medieval Newport when Melyn formerly the card shop, becomes home to truly innovative and exciting community project – The River of Life Newport Heritage Project.
This unique project, the first of its kind in Wales, has at its heart the desire to bring a community together in a positive and uplifting experience that will form a solid basis on which to build a better future for the people Newport.
Inspired by the Medieval Mystery plays and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, the “River of Life” will be shaped by the community, developing stories drawn largely from the Stow Hill area through drama, dance and music.
Exploring links from the past to the present and culminating in a series of performances that will travel down the hill from St Woolos Cathedral , performing in fascinating parks to a grand finale in John Frost Square on May 7th 2011.
Come along and discover the rich and intriguing stories and take part in taster workshops such as dance, drama and arts and crafts. All ages welcome.
Opening times will be posted on the door.
