Drama of the Week

By Sebastian Baczkiewicz. Three plays about the feeding of the five thousand and the personal and political fallout from this extraordinary event.

Rhiannon Parry is the council’s Emergency Planning and Resilience Manager. As one of the worst storms Wales has ever seen is about to hit her town, she leads a team fighting to keep people safe. But she’ll soon find she can’t keep her own past separate from the crisis that is approaching.

Meanwhile, teenage storm chaser and youtuber, Dale, is thrilled to be finally at the centre of things and desperate to get the word out there. How far will he go to capture the footage he needs?
