Book SynopsisSeanmhair
(feminine: Scots Gaelic)
Grandmother
A chance meeting between two children on the streets of Edinburgh leads to a terrible reckoning, leaving Jenny and Tommy forever bound together by blood and fate. Brutal and beautiful, Hywel John's remarkable new play glimmers and cuts like a jewel, fusing raw epic romance with guttural urban poetry to tell the story of a secret generational legacy of love, violence and fury.
Trade Reviewthis isn't a gentle, reflective play about a mundane relationship. It's a cable downed in a hurricane, thrashing and sparking in the wet and windy street... there's little to fault here. Seanmhair is an exciting, volatile new play deserving of wider audiences.' Fest Mag ???? 'A striking new work that suddenly shifts from domestic memoir into thriller territory. The Stage ????
