Dreaming the Night Field

Immerse yourself in glorious living landscapes and the brilliant night sky to discover a world that’s bristling with life, filled with animals, people and constellations caught between creation and destruction.

Gwydion, nephew to the King, a magician and master storyteller, provokes a war between North and South Wales and unleashes a chaos of consequences. Blodeuwedd, an intoxicatingly beautiful woman conjured from flowers, is torn between desire and duty, with fateful results.

Honour, justice, magic and transformation collide in a story as relevant today as it ever was, where people seek to spin, manipulate and control, and nature reveals its deep power.

By turns, thrilling, funny, powerful and poetic, this spellbinding new performance vividly evokes the ancient Celtic legend of the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogion.

UK, Europe & Australia
The highlight of the festival was an incredible epic telling of the fourth branch of the Mabinogion... they received a standing ovation, which was well deserved.
Wales Arts Review
You will be transported somewhere else – into a metamorphosising world of passion, upheaval and mischief-making... It’s ancient and weird and compellingly beautiful and, while you’re there, oddly believable.
Tony Jones, Playwright
The two years it took to create Dreaming the Night Field paid off, as the three performers bowed to a standing ovation from the audience. It was reassuring to know that the magic they spoke of in their legends will always live. We left the theatre spellbound.
