Richard Burton returns home. An intimate one-man play celebrating the life and legacy of Wales’ greatest acting legend.

Unmasking Burton

One Hundred Years. One Village. One Extraordinary Story.

Celebrate the centenary of Richard Burton’s birth with a special hometown performance of Unmasking Burton.

Written and performed by Welsh actor Josh Moore, this immersive one-man play takes audiences beyond the Hollywood legend to discover the man behind the unforgettable voice. Set in an intimate pub, Burton returns to reflect on the triumphs, regrets and personal battles that shaped one of Wales’ greatest cultural icons.

Blending powerful storytelling, humour, audience interaction and moving theatrical moments, Unmasking Burton explores themes of identity, family, addiction, mental health and the enduring bond between a man and the community that raised him.

There could be no more fitting place to experience this story than Pontrhydyfen—the village where Richard Burton’s remarkable journey began.

Join us at Bethel Chapel Café for an unforgettable evening celebrating the life, legacy and humanity of a true Welsh legend.
