Found

Synopsis:
We read books, we went to the shops, we got the papers, we ate good meals, we took buses and trains and we took planes. We saw buildings, animals, cities, countries. We drank and we danced. And we thought about all the important things we had seen, about all the things that we had found. And we noted it all down and we formed a band.

My Electric Soul

Synopsis:
-

Notes:
Sherman Cymru is thrilled to reveal the three playwrights whose short plays have been selected for the very first TAITH event on 26 June. TAITH is Sherman Cymru's new initiative that develops and nurtures Welsh and English language playwrights, offering feedback, skill development and opportunities for playwrights to undertake a process of development with the Sherman team before their work is performed in the Studio. Twice a year Sherman Cymru will invite submissions for 10 minute plays, in Welsh or English, on a specific theme, style or subject. This time the specific theme around Social Uprising, taken from Gary Owen's outstanding new play Iphigenia in Splott, and in light of the General Election.
