Hijinx Theatre are currently on their whistle-stop national tour of Wales and England of their autumn show The Other Woman by Paul Swift – in this year which marks the 90th Anniversary of the Armistice, it’s both exciting and sobering to look back at such a cataclysmic period in our historyProtected only by the rugged landscape surrounding her isolated cottage in the heart of the South Wales’ valleys, Megan is left alone with her baby – and a broken plough - when her husband goes off to fight in the Great War. When a desperate stranger breaks into her cottage, Megan is afraid, but sees an opportunity which can benefit them both. They find an unusual solution to explain his presence at the farm, and become drawn to one another – but no-one could possibly foresee the difficulties that unfold when her husband returns, unexpectedly, from the front. The Other Woman is a powerful piece of theatre about how far people will go to survive through the harshest of times. Hijinx Theatre is one of the UK's leading small scale touring companies, with over twenty seven years experience of creating high quality theatre which is accessible, entertaining and challenging for small communities throughout Wales and England.
