Pieces of Hate
Written by Philip Michell
Directed by John Norton
Thu 23 + Fri 24 Feb • 7.30pm • Iau 23 + Gwe 24 Chwef
Sean is a young man in trouble. He wants to lead a normal life just like his friends but other people keep getting in the way! Sean can’t decide if ‘The Shadow Man’ inside his head is his friend or not. He looks to his friends for help, but they each have their own stories of hate and hard times to tell. Stories of loneliness, ridicule and isolation, even stories of intimidation and physical attack.
This production marks the culmination of a twelve month project looking at hate crimes towards people with disabilities. Theatr Ffynnon have worked with over 60 people with disabilities from across south and mid Wales. The members have worked closely with writer Philip Michell and actor/director John Norton in creating a piece based on personal opinion and experiences.
