What happens when you want a different life to the one chosen for you? A story of desire, duty, deceit and revenge. “Powerful, striking and unique in many ways” The Stage

An innovative re-telling of an ancient Welsh myth where nothing is quite as it seems.

Rose cannot remember what came before the house at the edge of the isolated forest. Gwynne says he magicked her out of the flowers, but she's not so sure. She has played the part of the perfect farmer’s wife for Lewis, who is kept firmly in place by his uncle Gwynne, and accepted her lonely existence. Then a stranger is seen in the forest. What lengths will she go to, to escape the life chosen for her?

Using a cross-art form approach, this beautiful piece of storytelling will feature live music, dance, video, integrated sign language and surtitles.

Kaite O’Reilly’s work has been performed nationally and internationally, she has won many awards and was the first playwright to win the prestigious Ted Hughes Award for New Works. She received three commissions from the Cultural Olympiad, the official festival celebrating the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics.

Suitable for age 12+

All performances use surtitles throughout, with sections of theatricalised sign
