mean? And now she's nowhere. She was always there, that's what I'm

past and worries about the future leave them feeling paralysed.

Lily's like a lot of other 20-somethings - working a dead-end job,
stuck in a cycle of one-night stands and not where they expected to
be at the age of 27. Her friends all feel like their lives are
falling apart...except Lily's really is. Can she stop the rot
before she crumbles away to nothing? The Awkward Years will fuse a
muscular text with frenetic movement and an evocative sound and
lighting design to produce a breakneck-speed show about grief, hope
and staying alive.

"It's chaos out there. Not that I'm complaining. Lotta profit in
chaos." High above New York City, the super-rich wine and dine in
sky-line restaurants dreaming of bigger and better cities. In a
military bunker deep in the heart of an American wasteland, the
poor compete for food and preferment in a programme with more than
sinister ends. What happens when the rift between the haves and the
have-nots becomes unassailable? Matthew Bulgo's new intellectual
thriller American Nightmare dissects the battle lines that exist
within the eponymous 'American Dream'.
'Place like this - you know this - place like this gets in your
blood. Once it's in your blood, you can't get it out.' One night
under Cardiff skies, four lost souls go looking for answers. After
dark, when the world is quiet, their paths weave and collide as
they all go in search of salvation. When dawn breaks, life will go
on but there will be another night to contend with soon enough. As
the sun rises over the Taff, can anyone break free from the past?
