This deeply moving new play, by Contemporancient Theatre, tells the story of a Rhondda Valley mining family over several days in 1918, just as the First World War ends and the family finds itself in a crisis.
Deep wounds from the past surface in this touching love story, and a stranger visits who is able to help the family come to terms with present loss and past hurts.With new music and film, this piece tells a uniquely Welsh tale, beautifully.
‘Contemporancient Theatre is a professional company based in south Wales, that creates new works telling stories from Wales’s past that are important for us today. Their work involves new music, poetry and film and encourages use of the Welsh language for audiences who are not Welsh speakers.’
