SCHIZOTHEMIA (ENGLAND)

It is World War I. A Welsh minister and a young Irish guard become trapped in a collapsed dug-out after a German night raid, leaving the rest of their regiment trapped outside. They must find a common language in order to communicate. By referencing their bibles they manage to construct a bastardised form of Irish and Welsh, but the gravity of their plight becomes far greater than they had envisaged.

‘A powerful piece of writing performed with competence and true grit…well worth seeing’ (Kingston Arts Council).
