Petula
by Fabrice Melquiot, translated by Daf James
co-production with National Theatre Wales and Theatr Genedlaethol
Pwdin Evans is on a mission. There’s so much in this world he can no longer deal with; his ridiculous parents, step-parents, the weight of his teenage worries, gravity, all of it.
So, he launches himself into space, in search of answers and his missing cousin Petula.
“difficult to follow…much too loud…did not wholly pay off.”
Petula’s worst review.
“López’s take on the tale is bold, imaginative and—despite the horrors which are played out—fun.”
Petula’s best review.
