The Fabulous Carys Eleri wowed an intimate audience at Groundlings Theatre
during Ports Fest 22 with her one-woman show about medieval feminist, poet and all-round Welsh heroine
Gwerful Mechain
The first performance of this moving performance outside Wales, Carys expanded her show to connect the misogyny challenged by Gwerful Mechain to her own experience of toxic masculinity. The result was breath-taking and she now plans to develop it and take it on tour. We will keep you updated with her work on our social media pages
