Mewn Cymeriad perform ‘Annie Cwrt Mawr’
Over the 1-2 November, WCIA are excited to welcome Welsh theatre company Mewn Cymeriad to the Temple of Peace to perform their production of ‘Annie Cwrt Mawr‘:
Annie Hughes Griffiths was President of WCIA’s historic predecessor body, the Welsh League of Nations Union (WLNU), in the 1920s and led the Welsh Women’s Peace Appeal to America of 1923, for which we are marking the centenary over 2023-24 through the Academi Heddwch / Lottery Heritage Funded project ‘Hawlio Heddwch’.

Aviatrix
The play – by Cardiff-based playwright, JIM BLYTHE – tells the true story of 5 women – all very experienced fliers – and their fight to be recognised as R.A.F. pilots. A parallel story recounts the last moments of renowned Aviator, Amy Johnson, who was also changing attitudes to the potential and status of women. This is a Cabaret-style production touring to venues related, in some way, to the theme of the play.
This event is hosted by WCIA and the Temple of Peace as part of our programme of activities to mark Remembrance Week 2023.
