Details

Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Rebecca Riots in nineteenth century Wales, Alexander Cordell's epic story follows the fortunes of the Mortymer family when they leave the fiery hell of the Monmouthshire iron furnaces to earn a precarious living farming Cae White in Carmarthenshire. Yet even through the bleak darkness of revolution and unimaginable hardship, the indomitable spirit of the people shines through - in song and in dance, with stirring hymns and joyous celebration. 'Hosts of Rebecca' will reduce you to tears then shake you into laughter as a host of unforgettable characters sweep through scenes of mystery and suspense, of tragedy, comedy and tender romance.
