New theatre production by Frân Wen and Sherman Theatre.
It’s 2015. Jac is a young trans man, born in the wrong body, beginning the search for the life he knows he’s meant to live.
As he begins his transition, tensions rise, relationships strain, and the support he relies on starts to feel more fragile than ever. When a final rejection pushes Jac to his breaking point, he hurls himself into oblivion, testing the limits of both his body and his mind.
Will those he loves stand by him when it matters most?
Written and performed by Leo Drayton, Dynolwaith is a deeply personal and heartfelt Welsh-language* story of self-discovery, resilience, and transformation that will resonate long after the curtain falls.
