Owain & Henry

Owain & Henry opens at the Donald Gordon Theatre in the Wales Millennium Centre on 5 November, with previews running from the 5th to the 10th and the full run continuing until 28 November. It's a new historical epic by Gary Owen, the Olivier Award-winning Welsh playwright who wrote Iphigenia in Splott.

At the centre of it are two big names: Michael Sheen plays Owain Glyndŵr, and Linus Roache plays Henry IV. Sheen is also directing, alongside Steffan Donnelly of Theatr Cymru. The story goes back to 1400, when Glyndŵr, a lord of a small northern land, was declared an outlaw by King Henry IV. It's a co-production between the Wales Millennium Centre and the Welsh National Theatre, and they describe it as a production charged with poetic power that brings to life one of Wales' most defining stories.

If you're planning to go, there are a few things to keep in mind. The age guidance is 14+, with no under-2s admitted, and anyone under 16 has to be seated with an adult aged 18 or over. The run is fairly long, so you've got plenty of dates to choose from across the three weeks.

Performances are Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm, with matinees on Thursdays and Saturdays at 2.30pm. Previews start on 5 November, and the whole thing runs through to 28 November at the Donald Gordon Theatre.
