Desire Lines |
First
presented in 2011
by Sherman Cymru |
synopsis:
Wryly funny and heartfelt, Desire Lines is a lyrical portrayal of the seven ages of man told through the journey of one man around Wales. The piece traces the pulls and pushes that lead and drive us through life and asks, how do we decide on a place to call home and if we could live it all again, what would we change

Butterfly |
First
presented in 2006
by Theatr y Byd |
synopsis:
BUTTERFLY is a play about art and life, and their appropriation by the unscrupulous; a reflection of society’s increasing immunity to pure emotion, instead seeking personal satisfaction through retaliation and acquisition. A pitch-black comedy featuring a cast of three, the play introduces an established art critic and collector who is no longer moved by beauty. Desperate to feel, to live, he has become a vampire who sucks the souls of young artists from their canvasses, destroying them out of spite. When he is picked up by a young man at a gallery opening, a story of seduction and revenge unfolds.

Mor Tawel / Pacific |
First
presented in 2001
by Theatr y Byd |
synopsis:
Ian Rowlands' play centres on David Samwell, the eighteenth century London Welshman who sailed as a ship's surgeon with Captain Cook and his ill fated third voyage on the Discovery in 1778. The play is a commentary on contemporary 'Welshness' - reluctant nationhood stepping from past to future. A beautifully staged and performed piece of work
Commissioned by the National Eisteddfod of Wales and Arts Council of Wales for the 2000 National Eisteddfod in Llanelli.
