AS part of its Welsh tour, Torch Theatre will be bringing another Welsh rugby legend’s story to the Sherman Theatre, Grav from March 9 to 11.

Raymond ‘Ray’ William Robert Gravell was a Welsh rugby union centre who played club rugby for Llanelli RFC. At international level, Gravell earned 23 caps for Wales and was selected for the 1980 British Lions tour to South Africa. In his later career, he became a respected broadcaster and occasional actor.

Then In October 2007 Gravell, a man who for many embodied what it is to be Welsh, passed away aged 56.

Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the rugby field, ‘Grav’ was and is so much more than that. An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, a man with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be heard once more.

Written by the award-winning Welsh playwright Owen Thomas, Grav the play has been written with the blessing of Mari, Ray’s widow, and contributions from his Welsh and British Lions team mates. The show is directed by Peter Doran and performed by Gareth Bale (The Indian Doctor, High Hopes, Pobol Y Cwm, Richard Parker, Bedroom Farce, Boeing Boeing, Neville’s Island, Up 'n Under, Bouncers), Grav will remind the world once more of a unique life well lived and of a man who did so much more than eat soft centres.
