GRAV
Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the rugby field, Ray Gravell was and is so much more than that. An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, "Grav" was a man with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be heard. Acclaimed Welsh actor Gareth J Bale performs the role of ‘Grav’ in this powerful and passionate play written by award winning Welsh playwright Owen Thomas which will entertain fans of rugby and outstanding theatre alike. "Grav" was also adapted into a feature film in 2021 and won the Welsh BAFTA for Feature/Television Film Award in 2022.
