Iola is struggling with a brain tumour and Anest finds it increasingly difficult to care for her. When Anest’s daughter Menna receives a letter from her aunt she comes back to the family home to make new discoveries about who she is, where she’s from and what it means to be alive. Welsh writer, Tim Price has had a string of recent successes with his plays The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning (National Theatre Wales), Will and George (Soho Theatre) and For Once (Hampstead Theatre and Sherman Cymru).
