Chris Needs – Like It Is

The World Premiere of ‘Chris Needs -Like It Is‘

Based on the life of legendary broadcaster and charity fundraiser Chris Needs, stages at The Dylan Thomas Theatre, Swansea, June 20th – 22nd, 2024 and STARS the multi talented Lloyd Davies as Chris.

The play traces Chris’s life story from Cwmafan through significant moments, his performance and broadcasting career to his extraordinary charity work notably for Diabetes Wales. The script is based upon Chris’ three volume autobiography and private audio tape recordings with his long time friend the writer PT Rose. The recordings were part of the process of creating a stage show. Chris was tragically taken from us just before that original show was about to go into production. Extracts from the audio tapes have been released and can be heard on line. The premiere in June will include a range of songs important to Chris and his enormous fan base of followers in the ‘Chris Needs Friendly Garden’ and features Oliver Ryall-Dimech as ‘Young Chris’.
