Profile
In this critically-acclaimed theatrical
journey through the Seven Kingdoms,
direct from sold out shows in London’s
West End, avid ‘Thrones’ fan Graeme just
wants to recreate his favourite fantasy
saga on stage – aided and abetted by his
best friend Paul and the girl he used to
fancy at school – Bryony.
Writer and BAFTA winner Jon Brittain
said: “Graeme of Thrones is a
parody/farce/show-within-a-show/lovinghomage. It’s nice to be in a room where
being an anally retentive fanboy is actually
a good thing! The team are having a lovely
time geeking out and discussing how
ridiculous Ser Jorah and Littlefinger’s
voices are, how Daenerys really should
04 | Box Office 029 2087 8444
have double checked there was a nonudity clause in her contract, and how
Jon Snow really is incredibly boring (but
so pretty!).”
Created by a team of some of the UK’s
top comedy writers, Graeme of Thrones
is a wacky and wicked parody on the
international phenomenon that is Game
Of Thrones.
“A must for any Game Of Thrones fan”

Céline Forrest
THREE brings brand new compositions to
the world stage – pieces set to become
modern classics, each drawing inspiration
from different art forms.
The Overture is a dynamic alchemy,
distilling an exciting new piece from art
projects with local school children aged
11-18. Taking inspiration from the
painting Mametz Wood by Christopher
Williams about the Battle of The Somme,
three groups created the melody and
developed the musical themes which
renowned Welsh composer Gareth Glyn
crafted to its finished form.
The second piece, Chaotic Angels, is
composed by Pwyll ap Siôn. Written for
soprano Céline Forrest – who represented
Wales in the 2015 BBC Cardiff Singer
of The World – it draws on the poetry of
the inaugural National Poet of Wales
Gwyneth Lewis.
Internationally acclaimed composer Jörg
Widmann created the final piece, Babylon
Suite; drawing influence from his previous
06 | Box Office 029 2087 8444
operatic work, this startling composition
has all the hallmarks of an intensely epic
piece which is nevertheless accessible
with a quality of cinematic grandeur. This
is the UK premier of this remarkable work.
The number three has often been linked
with mystical qualities; numerology
connects it to optimism, joy and creativity.
In this spirit, it is apt that THREE is
the name of the creative collaboration
between St David’s Hall, the Welsh
National Opera Orchestra, Grafenegg
Festival, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester
Berlin, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Amsterdam, the Arts Active team and
three Cardiff secondary schools with
the support of Arts Council Wales.
We hope you can join us for what
promises to be a landmark event on
Sunday 1 May 3.00pm. Tickets are £7.50 –
£39.50 plus a Ticket Service Charge of
£2.95 per transaction and an optional

Richard Herring Rick Astley
Happy Now?
Plus Special Guests
Joseph Tong – Piano
After years of drifting
aimlessly and alone,
Richard Herring is now
settled down with a wife
and a tiny baby. Is he
finally happy now? Or does
responsibility for the lives
of others come with its own
terrors? In his twelfth solo
stand up show, Richard
examines whether we can
ever hope to be or are
meant to be truly content
or should we just embrace
the fact that life is a vale of
tears and our only option is
to laugh in its face?
Pop Icon and multi-million
selling artist Rick Astley
has announced a full UK
Tour for March and April
2016 to coincide with the
release of his brand new
album due for release later

Refunds, Exchanges and Duplicates
St David’s Hall values its patrons’
commitment in booking early and
recognises that emergencies sometimes
prevent attendance. Tickets may be
exchanged for any other event at the
same price or higher (on payment of the
difference). The exchange option is not
available for sold out concerts. If the event
falls within a specific season (eg Proms,
Ballet etc), exchanged tickets will be
offered within the same season. Tickets
must be received at the Box Office not
later than 48 hours before the original
performance. There is a charge of £2.00
per ticket for this service. (Unfortunately,
tickets purchased via the BBC Customer
Care Centre or outside agencies cannot be
exchanged or resold at St David’s Hall.)
Alternatively tickets will be accepted for
resale on the strict understanding that
St David’s Hall tickets will be sold first and
that resale cannot be guaranteed. We
cannot re-sell tickets unless the originals
are first returned to the Box Office. 20%
of the value of any resale will be retained.
Apart from these two services or the
cancellation of a performance, money
will not be refunded once tickets have
been purchased.
In the event of a cancelled performance
tickets must be returned to point of
purchase (e.g. If purchased via one of
our recognised ticket agents, tickets
should be returned directly to them).
In the event that duplicate tickets are
required, there will be a charge of £2.00
per ticket for this service.
Latecomers
To avoid disruption, latecomers can be
admitted to the auditorium only when there
is an appropriate break in the performance.
The concert can be viewed via closed
circuit TV in the L3 Lounge.
Conditions of sale
We reserve the right to make cast or
programme changes if necessary.
Admission may be refused under certain
circumstances and a refund may not be
made. Please check tickets at time of
purchase to ensure they are correct.
Refunds are at the discretion of the
Box Office Manager.
Ticket Service Charge
All ticket purchases are subject to a Ticket
Service charge of £2.95 per transaction
so you will only pay £2.95 no matter how
many tickets you buy at one time (subject
to change). The Ticket Service Charge
covers the cost of producing your tickets
and processing your order. We aim to
provide exceptional service to customers
whether they visit us in person, call on the
phone or interact with us online. This small
charge per transaction will enable us to
continue to do this in the face of increasing
demands on valuable resources.
*Some events will be exempt from the TSC
– for example events organised by A2 Arts
Active and any event where the top price
is £12.00 or less.
