'I have caused what might soon be a global situation because you've
stopped thinking people like me are worth hearing.' Is something
incredible happening in Merthyr? Sixteen-year-old Carys claims to
have received the stigmata: Christ's wounds from the Cross. Are her
wounds a sign from God? Carys thinks so - she wants to tell the
world and demands to be heard. Sian, her teacher, is not so sure,
and believes silencing Carys will keep her safe. But can she make
sense of what is happening to her student? Lisa Parry's play The
Merthyr Stigmatist is a fierce and exhilarating exploration of
faith and truth, a hymn to community, and a testament to the power
of young people. The play was shortlisted for the inaugural Theatre
Uncut Political Playwriting Award, and first presented online in
2021, as a co-production between Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, and
Theatre Uncut.
