Siol - a play by Rhona Richards

Siôl
(Shawl)

By Rhona Richards.

In Senghenydd, 1905, Anwen eagerly anticipates the birth of her first child.

In Cardiff, 1939, Mary passes her final nursing exam.

Anwen and Mary are witnesses to Welsh history in the making: the religious revival, the Senghenydd Mining Disaster, the Dunkirk evacuations, the Cardiff Blitz and the birth of the NHS. They meet as patient and nurse at Pen Y Fal Hospital, building a friendship bound by a traditional Welsh nursing shawl.

Siol is a play about strength, resilience, and how compassion and humour guide us through the darkest times.

The Play is inspired by The Community Shawl Project.
