Love Steals Us From Loneliness

National Theatre Wales | Sherman Cymru

Reviews | Resources

A play about the stupid things you do when you're f*cked.

A night out. Friends, alcohol, a shit club, a strop – the usual. But tonight is different. Tonight will change things forever.

Gary Owen, one of Wales’s foremost playwrights, returns to his hometown of Bridgend. The media have told us their Bridgend story, but what will a writer who spent his own teenage years here have to say?
