Cyn, set in 1995 that explores the consequences of colliery closures on mining communities across South Wales. We follow Emyr, the sole drinker on a bleak morning at the village pub. He is the son of a miner, who's life trajectory had been scrambled by the closure of the mine, leaving him bitter and alone in his mid-twenties. Into this sombre setting stumbles Simon, an Englishman who is out of petrol and very, very lost. Over the next hour, the tensions between the two simmer as the past is interrogated and their stereotypes put under the microscope. The audience is invited to laugh, cry and sing along to the songs of Max Boyce in this fringe award-winning play that looks back and asks the question: Where did the heart go?
