New Welsh Drama 3: Inside Out/Sex and Power at the Beau Rivage: No. 3 (New Welsh Drama S.) - Softcover

This production of Sex and Power at the Beau Rivage by Lewis Davies and directed by Chris Morgan for Theatr Y Byd packs a real punch, viscious but also tender in its explicit handling of wide-ranging themes. The dialogue is pithy in this fascinating take on the nature of genius, the search for love and its sexual demands. Jon Halliday, The Stage --Jon Halliday, The Stage

Lesley Ross's script for Inside Out and the story of Ivor Novello's imprisonment was sensitive, subtle, and perfectly in keeping with the period.... A poignant, warm and strangely uplifting drama. South Wales Evening Post --South Wales Evening Post

"Inside Out" is written by Lesley Ross. While at the height of his career, through his involvement with an obsessive fan, Ivor Novello became involved in a wartime petrol scam, resulting in his imprisonment at Wormwood Scrubs. "Inside Out" contrasts the glamorous backstage world of the West End Star with the stark reality of the prison cell. "Sex and Power at the Beau Rivage" is written by Lewis Davies. An invitation: 'Would you care to come here and be my guest at this small and inexpensive hotel for a few days? Bandol is on the Marseilles side of Toulon. My wife and I would both be pleased if you come.' And with the letter, Rhys Davies caught the train to Bandol to meet DH Lawrence and a place in literary history.
