Performer Name: Cwmni Theatr Arad Goch

Show Name: Colli Hi / Meltdown

Show Description

‘Meltdown’ explores timely and emotional themes related to mental health, including fear, depression, anxiety, stress, and anger. Dwayne, a 15-year-old boy, tries to live within a ‘normal’ family that is steered by mental health problems. His older sister is paralysed by fear, his mother is under severe stress, his younger sister is addicted to social media, his little brother is constantly crying, and his volcanic father is on the verge of exploding. The production follows a period in Dwayne’s life as he struggles through adolescence, with family challenges coming from all directions. ‘Meltdown’ was created by Zeal Theatre from Australia. Zeal Theatre is well-known in Wales for their iconic work “Stones/Tafliad Carreg,” which has toured multiple times and has been part of the WJEC Drama curriculum. This production was also created in collaboration with Cwmni Theatr Arad Goch.
