Hail Cremation (2026?)
'The crème de la crem of punk electronica musicals'
Twice cancelled, but might go on.
James Minas has done the music,
'Dr William Price (1800-1893) was Welsh surgeon, radical, visionary, feminist, vegetarian and eccentric who became known as, 'the father of cremation'. Hail Cremation is a punk electronica musical odyssey through the life of this complex and extraordinary man. It is a paean to the role of the eccentric in society the boundary between genius and madness, as a celebration of this irascible legend.'
John McGrath, the first Artistic Director (AD) of NTW developed the show in 2015. Kully Thiarai, the 2nd AD commissioned the show in 2018. Adele Thomas was directing the show, but the 3rd AD, Lorne Campbell, had to shut the show down during the first Covid lockdown. Lorne would produce this show in the summer of 2024, but Arts Council of Wales (ACW) cut the grant to National Theatre Wales.

Hail Cremation! (2020 - postponed)
Hail Cremation!' was a 'psychedelic musical odyssey' theatre production about Dr William Price for National Theatre Wales. It was in its tech run in Newbridge (near Caerphilly) in March 2020, but was cancelled due to the first Covid Lockdown.
Hopefully, as Dr Price and the goats sang, 'We will rise again.'
