Description

This one time, I just know shes gonna hit the roof. I just put you in the pushchair and get out the place quick as I can. Neighbours all out on the balcony wonderin whats happenin, and this eight-year-old kids walkin past em all smilin with a kid in his pushchair, like tha... Mornin! Mornin! This brand new bilingual play by young playwright Alun Saunders is a coming of age story about two brothers raised apart, in different families speaking different languages. With animated surtitles in both languages that move around the set and even onto the actors bodies, this is a funny, moving play and truly accessible for Welsh and non-Welsh speakers alike.

Reviews

There is a poetic balance struck between both languages, Welsh and English, as the rhythms and musicality of each are observed and beautifully woven together -- Denis Lennon * The Reviews Hub *
