Casting announced for SMALL CHANGE at the Omnibus Theatre

Casting has been announced today for Peter Gills’ memory play Small Change, running at the Omnibus Theatre from 14 September –2 October 2021.

Directed by George Richmond-Scott, associate director of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, the four-strong cast is comprised of Sioned Jones, Andy Rush, Tameka Mortimer and Toby Gordon.

The creative team includes lighting designer Ali Hunter, sound designer Lex Kosanke, and set and costume designer Liam Bunster.

‘It’s not only pictures of the past that invented me, but the literal past. Things happened that couldn’t be changed.’

Peter Gills’ powerful memory play, set on the east side of Cardiff in the 1950s and the 1970s, is about boyhood, the complex love between mothers and sons, and the search for truth.

Last performed in London in 2008, this poetic exploration of the human condition centres around Gerard, a troubled man at the end of youth, trapped by his past. He relives his vibrant childhood in search for the moment that defined him. Gill’s story and its close examination of the truth and beauty in the ordinary and mundane, is widely regarded as his finest work.

George Richmond-Scott said: “I was drawn to his [Gills’] incredibly vivid, lyrical language and his gift for evoking place and childhood. At the heart of this play is a powerful examination of parent, child and love. It’s a story that looks at how we deal with the past and old wounds in our quest for peace and reconciliation.”
