The world is at war, but a self-made man shields himself and other misfits from the ravages of war in a bar in Morocco where the Vichy French government hold sway. Refugees from all over Europe come to Africa for passage and salvation. When one of them walks into his bar…his whole world is turned upside town…for what would you sacrifice everything?…
The Playhouse of the Air company returns to broadcast this classic tale of love in war-torn North Africa in front of a live theatre audience – complete with live music, a pre-show experience and a foley artist creating the sound effects on stage. Join Myrtle, Harry, Bert and their colleagues as they invite you for an evening in Rick’s Bar….If you don’t come, you will regret it, maybe not today….
Presented in collaboration with Pontardawe Arts Centre and Arts Council Wales
Directed by Joe Harmston
Designed by Sean Cavanagh
Original music composed by Kieran Bailey
