A SPECIAL screening is taking place in memory of a ‘driving force’ in the cultural community who died earlier this year.
In celebration of Ann Llewellin’s huge contribution to the Historical Spectacular Son-et-Lumiėres, staged by Chepstow Festival, the Drill Hall will be screening one of these major community productions, Echoes in the Stones.
Ann Llewellin
Between 1990 and 2004 many people took part in the series of Historical Spectaculars and those that did will have come to know Ann Llewellin well.

She was part of a team of four, including Ned Heywood, Anne Rainsbury and Keith Underwood, and she planned and devised the productions, worked on the script and plotted each scene and its staging. Ann was also in her element as a ‘hands on’ director.

A statement in memory of Ms Llewellin said: “Ann’s enthusiasm was boundless and she was a real inspiration to all the participants of these fantastic events.
“Not only was she popular but she excited great loyalty and had the ability to bring people together. She is sorely missed by her many friends and especially by her co-directors of the Historical Spectaculars, who also esteemed her as a very special and truly gifted person.”
