Pews at Ten

Written by Nia Brooks

 What’s better: a patchwork of welsh cakes or uniform store bought?

Three elderly Welsh women take their usual spot on the front pew of St David’s Cathedral. They are pillars of the community, trusted with the most important events and celebrations. So, when they learn of a very special guest arriving in their town, see their world turn on its head as they are forced to rely on the generosity of a...brace yourself...a southern english man....

A comedic, farcical story of friendship, respect, and the difference between a Biscotti and a Westie Terrier.

You can’t keep the plaster on forever

Sophie wants to talk, Jamie wants to sleep.

Sophie wants to crawl into his skin, Jamie wants a gentle intimacy.

Sophie wants to let loose, Jamie wants to run away.

How do you know that you’re not?
