Powerful. Urgent. Compelling.
Experience this modern Welsh classic in a major new production.
It’s nearly a decade since Gary Owen’s heart-wrenching Iphigenia in Splott took the world by storm, entrancing audiences and critics alike, winning awards and becoming an international smash-hit.
Now, in 2024, one of the most important plays in Welsh theatre history returns more relevant and resonant than ever. Alice Eklund’s powerful production of this new Welsh translation urgently brings this devastating classic to life once more, with a powerhouse performance from Seren Hamilton. Full of raw emotion, empathy, compassion and heart, this searing one woman play is a shattering wake-up call.
Stumbling down Clifton Street drunk at 11.30am, Effie is the kind of girl you’d avoid. You think you know her, but you don’t know the half of it. Effie’s life spirals through a whirlwind of drink, drugs and drama every night, with a hangover worse than death the next day. Until one night she finds the chance to be something more.
Performed in Welsh. Captions in English will be available at every performance.
Funded by Arts Council of Wales
