Exciting new play at the Melville Theatre, Abergavenny     


The Melville Theatre, Abergavenny, hosts a return visit from Mess Up The Mess theatre company with an exciting new play by Bethan Marlow about families living with addiction.


Mess Up The Mess is the Carmarthenshire youth theatre which offers dynamic theatre-making opportunities to young people and has begun exchanging visits with Gwent Young People’s Theatre.

Their latest production is Hidden, commissioned in partnership with
Barnardo’s Cymru Hidden Harm Project, which explores the lives of young people who are affected by parents with drug or alcohol addictions.
The play centres on Andy who is a normal teenager. He's 16, he gets into trouble at school and he wants some extra cash.

His twin brother and sister are lovable little puppets and his mother lives in a giant box.

He doesn't get on with his step-sister Mel and he doesn't remember what his real dad looks like.

Their house has a secret that nobody else knows- or if they do, they never talk about it.

Social workers are sniffing around, teachers are sticking their noses in and Nan is playing her Playstation. Andy is a normal teenager. Right?

Hidden is performed at The Melville Theatre in The Drama Centre, Penypound, Abergavenny NP7 5UD on Saturday 17 March at 7.30pm.

Tickets from the Borough Theatre 01873 850805.
