Synopsis

In Matt Hartley's gloriously entertaining one-woman play, The Wife of Cyncoed, Jayne is newly retired and disappointed with her life. She's in danger of becoming her daughter's babysitting service, and is desperate to make a change. When she meets a handsome stranger in the park – and an opportunity to do something for herself arises – can Jayne allow herself a second chance at happiness?

This charming and open-hearted play, bursting with life and laughter premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in 2024.

Also included in this volume is his earlier play, Idyll. Tempers are fraying in the scorching heat as a rural village is overwhelmed by noise, cars and day trippers… Scratch the surface and you'll find danger bubbling away. This captivating short play was first presented as an open-air production by Pentabus Theatre Company in 2021.
