Seiriol
Davies

Seiriol (pronounced SAY-ree-oll) is from Anglesey, the island on the top of Wales. It sometimes gets left off maps, but it is there; there's a Waitrose now and everything. He speaks Welsh and some English, and sings and acts and writes and composes. He trained at LISPA, and started out in cabaret. He's worked much with Punchdrunk, Gideon Reeling and Brian Catling, is a founder member of Brighton art collective / record label Beatabet, and tragi-glam rock band Temper Temper, and was half of cult punk music hall turn Underbling & Vow.

He now works primarily in theatre. In 2016, he wrote and starred in his first musical, the acclaimed How to Win Against History, which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016 and was the #1 best-reviewed show of the festival. It returned to the Fringe in 2017 before touring widely and transferring to a sell-out run at the Young Vic in London. It won several awards, including The Stage Edinburgh Award and a Wales Theatre Award (Best Touring Production). Seiriol was also nominated for a UK Theatre Award for Best Performance in a Musical for his portrayal of Henry.

He also plays well with others. As an actor, writer and composer, he's worked with all sorts, like The Old Vic, the Gate Theatre, English National Opera, National Theatre Wales, the Lyceum in Edinburgh, and many others.

He is currently working on numerous new and exciting projects to be announced in the coming months, as well as the follow-up to How to Win, the ravishing small-town epic Milky Peaks.

Other awards include: The Stage Award for Acting Excellence (Best Ensemble) for Mess, the Cân i Gymru Song For Wales Special Jury Prize, the Mitzi Cunliffe Award for Sculpture and The Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award.
