Alison O‘Connor and Karin Diamond developed their theatre company with support from Gwanwyn, the welsh festival based on Bealtaine. Alison says “ We are passionate about our older peers, interested in their thoughts, their ideas and their wisdom.” Passion is the basis for this show where people talk simply abnd directly to the audience, sharing their extraordinary tales of ordinary experience. As a previous audience member said “Your production was good for the soul, so I’m glad I came”
