In The Wife of Cyncoed, Jayne is newly retired and disappointed with her life. She's in danger of becoming her daughter's babysitting service and is desperate to make a change. When she meets a handsome stranger in the park - and an opportunity to do something for herself arises - can Jayne allow herself a second chance at happiness? This charming and open-hearted play premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in 2024, and provides gloriously entertaining opportunities for a mature solo performer. In Idyll, tempers are fraying in the scorching heat as a rural village is overwhelmed by noise, cars and day trippers... Scratch the surface and you'll find danger bubbling away. This captivating short play was first presented as an open-air production by Pentabus Theatre Company in 2021.
