The newly opened South Wales Evening Post Theatre on Swansea’s High is hosting a run of Mal Pope’s acclaimed musical Cappuccino Girls from September 22 until Christmas.
The theatre’s opening is an exciting step forward for Swansea Creative Hub and marks a major milestone in the £25million Urban Village revamp of Swansea’s High Street.
Located on the ground floor of the Urban Village, the theatre offers visitors an intimate and totally unique experience. Lines between audience and performers are blurred with seating arranged to resemble café chairs and tables. The action will unfold around the audience, making them feel truly caught up in the story.
Billed as a mixture of Friends and Sex & The City, Cappucino Girls was first performed in Manchester in 2005, where the Manchester Evening News gave it a five star review. The show went on to tour theatres in Wales and made a big impression in Swansea, where tickets sold out and Bonnie Tyler made a guest appearance.
Its latest run lasts until Christmas, with shows seven days a week including matinees. It promises to bring a flood of visitors to High Street, which Swansea Creative Hub is making a new focal point for artistic activity in Swansea.
Swansea Creative Hub is a “creative cluster” of some of Wales’ most vibrant and talented creative groups, housed in buildings belonging to the new Urban Village development. The Urban Village will also include flats, courtyards, retail units and the refurbished King’s Lane warehouse.
