Theatr Bont presents...
Christmas Eve, Bridgend, Wales. Beth, a tightly wound Welsh Londoner and sister Catrin, a volatile recovering addict, reunite a year after their mothers death. Their bond is tested by buried resentment, addiction, and the shadow of Catrin’s recent overdose. When Beth’s boyfriend Zac arrives unannounced, questions of codependency and control emerge. The sisters are drawn into a volatile confrontation that exposes long-buried secrets surrounding the death and threatens to destroy what remains of their relationship.
Contemporary and deeply human, a three hander exploring Welsh identity, the delicate violence of sisterhood, and how love and harm often speak the same language. The play asks: what does it mean to love someone when you know you cannot save them? Where is the line between protecting someone and controlling them, between forgiveness and complicity, between love and harm? And whether we can ever escape the families and places that made us. It asks what Welsh identity becomes when viewed from both inside and outside Wales: what is inherited, what is resisted, and what remains?
In 2025, London based Welsh company Shed Theatre returned to Bridgend in and founded Theatr Bont : Bridgend’s first pub theatre. Independently run and set up- producing in-house, with a collaborative community centric company: Where the Flowers Kneel was a production which helped launch the theatre’s success- picking up a five star review from Buzz Magazine; and a further inclusion for the company in their 2026 “ones to watch in the arts in Wales” list. Theatr Bont is delighted to remain a huge part of the play and this production’s roots and its continued development- in having our first London transfer, a year-on, with Theatre503 and keeping together its original cast and team.
