No Man’s Land
In Stiwdio 1

“you’ve got to get on with your life, Lew. Grudges won’t do you any good.”
Award winning writer Rachel Trezise shapes the lived experience of Kyle Stead to bring this brand-new play to the stage.
Directed by Matthew Holmquist
No Man's Land is a gripping new psychological drama that unearths the hidden wounds of a shattered psyche. The fight for survival is fought inside the mind.
What is brotherhood? A big brother to protect you. What if he doesn’t?
Set in the Rhondda Valley, we follow Lewis as he journeys through two worlds to discover the mechanism for his closure. A world of reality and No Man’s Land, a trauma-induced dystopia that only exists in Lewis’ mind.
What happens when the world tells you to man up, but every part of you is fractured?
“It never goes away. My whole body constantly on red alert.”
Will Lewis confront his trauma or continue to live in its shadows?
