About Somewhere over the bay Bro

Somewhere Over the Bay Bro is a story about community, family, loss and connection.

This a story of a woman who left her community of Tiger Bay in 1945 and returns today to find herself still welcome. The play delves into the death of community through the mourning of her father and explores what it really means to feel that there is no place like home.

Featuring an all-star Butetown cast, Somewhere Over the Bay Bro is artist Kyle Legall’s answer to The Wizard of Oz through the lens of Tiger Bay.

An explosive night of music to remember.
Straight from the heart of the Tiger Bay community.

Join us on Bonfire Night at the Eli Jenkins pub for a night celebrating the music from the show, interwoven with poetry and extracts from the script.
