Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and Richard Burton Company in collaboration with Paines Plough present
NEW'25 Children of the West
Borders are shut. The country is underpopulated. Citizens are required to have children. Nia, a prominent journalist, has always sat on the fence about these regulations despite it impacting her and her husband’s lives. As she seeks to escape from the country and tell the story of what’s happening in a now isolated nation, she is forced to interrogate the cost of what she’s leaving behind. What does it mean to have a significant part of your life forced upon you? Dystopian drama that explores love, parenthood, and free will.
In collaboration with Paines Plough
