Her Story Theatre Company from Newport, South Wales presents Daughter of Bala, a powerful and inspiring new two-woman play celebrating the extraordinary life of Welsh heroine Betsi Cadwaladr. Described as “totally unmissable” by Entertainment South Wales, the production follows Betsi’s remarkable journey from her humble beginnings in Bala to her adventures across the world, culminating in her service as a nurse during the Crimean War.
Through a blend of flashbacks and interviews with her biographer, Betsi’s story unfolds with humour, courage and humanity, bringing to life a woman who defied the expectations of her time and found herself in conflict with Florence Nightingale herself. Written by Welsh playwright Adele Cordner and performed by Her Story Theatre Company, Daughter of Bala is a captivating celebration of one of Wales’s most remarkable women.
Please note: This performance takes place in the London Welsh Centre Bar, which is located upstairs and does not have lift access.
