Description
Jones and Davis are fighting.
There's a skeleton in the well.
There's more to being Welsh than having the accent, isn't there?
Written for a single performer, Tara Robinson and Steffan Donnelly's My Body Welsh is a lyrical thriller which guides the audience through Llanfair-pwllgwyngyll-gogery-chwyrn-drobwll-llan-tysilio-gogo-goch and into a world of slippery small-town myth-making.
My Body Welsh is a vibrant, part-bilingual piece of contemporary theatre that investigates the role storytelling plays in constructing national identity.
My Body Welsh was published to coincide with Invertigo Theatre's tour of the play in January 2017.
