ritual

Live theatre is a ritual that we can’t enact or take part in right now. The few rituals we have each day now include exercise, washing up, cooking and cleaning. With this in mind, Dirty Protest have commissioned three emerging writers from across Wales to create Ritual, three audio plays you can listen to on the move.

However you decide to listen to these plays, they promise to take you somewhere extraordinary during what would normally be a mundane, daily routine.

Each play will be released separately as a podcast on 3, 4 and 5 July 2020.

Presented with National Theatre Wales + Sherman Theatre in partnership with BBC Cymru Wales + BBC Arts
