Love Steals Us From Loneliness and Mum & Dad Violence and Son:
People know, you're my boy. And they know better than to lay a
fucking finger on you. See? You are safer here with me, than you
have ever been.' Liam's 17 years old, loves Dr Who and has lost his
mum. He has had to move from London to Wales, to the valleys, to
the middle of nowhere, to live with a dad he doesn't know. Whose
nickname isn't Violence for nothing. Iphigenia in Splott: What gets
me through is knowing I took this pain, and saved all of you from
suffering the same.' Stumbling down Clifton Street at 11:30 a.m.
drunk, Effie is the kind of girl you'd avoid eye contact with,
silently passing judgement. We think we know her, but we don't know
the half of it. Effie's life spirals through a mess of drink, drugs
and drama every night, and a hangover worse than death the next day
- till one night gives her the chance to be something more. This
powerful new adaptation of the enduring Greek myth drives home the
high price people pay for society's shortcomings. Blackthorn: Kate
and Tom with their troubled daughter Evie decide to leave the
London rat race and start afresh in the peace of the countryside.
They buy a farmhouse in Wales... Watch the drama unfold. Blackthorn
is a darkly comic new play by Gary Owen about the clash between the
newcomers with their expectations and the way of life a Welsh
farmer holds dear . . . In the Pipeline: A massive liquid gas line
tears through the countryside of west Wales. Gary Owen opens the
doors to three of the residents in the port of Milford Haven,
Andrew, Dai and Joan, who are caught in the path of this terrifying
phenomenon. Mrs Reynolds and the Ruffian: Friendships grow in the
most unlikely of places. Mrs Reynolds is a little old lady. Jay is
a troubled youth. When he vandalises her lovingly tended garden,
the authorities send him back to help her fix it. It seems a recipe
for disaster - but human beings are more complex than the
headlines. Love Steals us from Loneliness: A play about the stupid
things you do when you're f*cked. A night out. Friends, alcohol, a
shit club, a strop - the usual. But tonight is different. Tonight
will change things forever. Gary Owen, one of Wales's foremost
playwrights, returns to his hometown of Bridgend. The media have
told us their Bridgend story, but what will a writer who spent his
own teenage years here have to say?
