This exciting new work by our playwright Vic Mills, with poetry by Prof Kevin Mills and an original score by Stephen J Preston, tells the story of Dr Richard Price of Llangeinor, a man who became Wales's greatest ever thinker – a hugely significant moral philosopher and mathematician, who had a great impact on world political events in the 18th century – most importantly American Independence and The French Revolution. His mathematical work makes a significant contribution to probability theory which underpins AI. Alongside the story of Price, we are told the story of Cari, a young woman who lives in the Garw Valley in an imagined near future, with Wales about to vote on its own independence, as she turns to Price for inspiration as a new day dawns for Wales.
A cast of four professional actors brings these two interwoven stories to life, with multi-media images and sounds from local film-maker, Chris Lloyd forming an important part of the visual experience of the play.
