My Land's Shore is the epic musical based on the true story of a Welsh miner who was swept away by the wheels of history to become the first martyr of the Welsh working class, will receive its Welsh professional premiere in Merthyr in February 2018. A story of guilt, love, injustice and rebellion, set during the Merthyr Rising of 1831, concerning one of the most iconic figures in the history of Wales (Dic Penderyn) and written by two Welsh creatives - composer/lyricist Christopher J. Orton and librettist/lyricist Robert Gould, My Land's Shore has its roots in the very fabric of the hearts and minds of the Welsh nation.
The musical has been in development since 2002, during which time it has attracted an acclaimed following from audiences, actors and theatre afficionados alike with a growing fan-base on twitter and facebook , following the release of a Studio Cast Album by SimG Records in 2012 (which has sold all over the world on iTunes - with consistent 5 star ratings), a West End workshop in 2013 and a world premiere production at Ye Olde Rose And Crown Theatre in London in February 2017, where it received 4/5 star reviews and garnered "Offie Award" nominations for Best New Off West End Musical, Best Musical Director and Best Set Design.
