Hiraeth

Two women with very different backgrounds strike up an unexpected conversation on a bus journey. What begins as a chance encounter gradually becomes something far more revealing, as barriers fall and they share the fears, hopes and experiences they usually keep hidden.

Warm, poignant and gently humorous, Hiraeth is a two-hander offering two strong, contrasting female roles with plenty of emotional depth for actors to explore. Simple to stage with minimal set requirements, it celebrates those fleeting encounters with strangers that can leave a surprisingly lasting impression.
