144 lives. 10% of this total shared a surname: Jones.

Aberfan, 1966. As self-proclaimed rugby prodigy Stephen revels in his greatest kick, 150,000 tonnes of coal careen down the hillside towards Pantglas Junior School.

Following sold-out, critically acclaimed performances at the Union Theatre, London, and on tour, Liam Holmes' powerful new play opens in Guildford prior to its run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025.

Blending drama, poetry, verbatim, and first-hand accounts of the 1966 Welsh mining disaster and its devastating aftermath, Mr Jones explores the complexities of grief and offers a poignant and honest portrait of a community irrevocably changed by tragedy.
