Blue pop, Jäger bombs and scrolling Tinder.
A city pulsing with drunken yelling and karaoke.
Streets filled with “livin’ for the weekend”…
Lottie’s on a night out like no other. As the hours pass and Lottie loses herself in her memories, the line between reality and imagination crumbles and she embarks on a journey of forgiveness, self-discovery and dancing like nobody’s watching!
Urban and darkly comic, this new play by Mared Jarman explores love, loss and life as young disabled people in a world that prioritises the mainstream. An exciting new voice in Welsh-language theatre, Mared will also appear as Lottie, alongside co-star Paul Davies and directed by Rhian Blythe.
Supported by Craidd.
Bilingual captions and Welsh-language audio decription will be available at every performance. Touch tours, led by our Audio Describer Eilir Gwyn, will be available before each show at 18:30. Please contact your venue to book a place on the touch tour.
Age Guidance: 16+
Contains adult themes, bright lights and strong language (including swearing, outdated terms for disabled people and ableist slurs)
