Grantaire’s solo in drink with me is so beautiful because it immediately shifts the tone to somber and reflective: he loves his friends—and yes especially Enjolras—even though he doesn’t believe in their cause, and he can’t bear to see them making light of their situation at all. It’s a cry for them to do something, even though could they even stop the battle at this point? Is it futile to make them reflect on the possible (probable) irrelevance of their fight and their lives and their deaths? This miserably captures how totally wretched he is at their decision to fight and die, something made even more poignant when it becomes apparent that the people aren’t rising up, yet he is with them, and he is f u r i o u s and burning at the though that they are throwing their lives away. He is horribly sad, too, and interrupting the call for drink and talk of women and fond remembrances (especially as the drunkard who makes light of everything, as cynics as he is) to insult his friends is not emotionally mature or effective but it is so raw and hurt and I just love this characterization of Grantaire

shoutout to @silly-lil-fool for helping me w this rabbithole last night even tho u cant speak welsh and have no interest in les mis 🫶🫶🫶

Les Mis Fersiwn Ysgolion

What we know is that the Bardd Plant Cymru from 2004-2005, Tudur Dylan translated the libretto of Les Miserables in 2005 for a school edition.

The only available songs are Fory Ddaw (One Day More, from a cover by Ysgol Plasmawr and a performance from OBA), and Adre Nôl (Bring Him Home, from a cover by John Owen-Jones, one by Rhiannon Herridge, and one by Samuel Wyn-Morris).

There is a video containing Coch a Ddu (Red and Black) and Yfwn Ni (Drink with Me) as well as the Welsh version of DYHTPS. I cannot decipher any lyrics.

The 2005 performance went pretty badly with a lot of technical difficulties including malfunctioning mics. But they re-did Les Mis Fersiwn Ysgolion in 2015, and this is where things get weird.

S4C (the welsh equivalent of the BBC) made a documentary about the 2015 production. Apparently there were 6 episodes planned but only 3 were filmed. There is only one clip available (of the actress playing Eponine talking to her mother about the role). The doc was called Les Miserables - Y Daeth I’r Lwyfan, but was often referred to as just Les Mis - Y Daeth. The doc won a BAFTA.

Rehearsals for the 2015 production took place in Llangrannog, and they worked a lot with OBA, and this is a lil confusing: they got an actor from the 2012 movie to do a Les Mis workshop with OBA. All we know is that he played one of the students, and came to see the Welsh production. From my searching it seems none of them could speak Welsh, which is confusing to me, if anyone finds any info about this lmk

Also involved with this were John Owen-Jones and Colm Wilkinson, but I’m not sure where they come into all this.

One of the final performances of the Welsh production was on Les Mis’ 30th anniversary. So, this was the Les Mis 30th Anniversary event. C*meron M*ckintosh showed up, Alain and Claude-Michel showed up, by the looks of things most of the og WE cast did too. Welsh Valjean even sung Bring Him Home with 5 past Valjeans (im assuming Colm and JOJ were at least two of them)

Plomp and I are both tempted to contact S4C about the doc, but if anyone here knows anything about Welsh Les Mis please let me know :)

My partner was like "no one can relate to les mis, it takes place a million years ago and who knows what the characters even want?" Clearly she has never been on tumblr.
