Synopsis: | "One language dies every two weeks, Joel. Isn't that the figure? Fifty-eight languages have only one speaker. It's horrific." In Williams' play, four linguists from around the world meet in a Cardiff hotel in an attempt to save languages that are on the verge of extinction. As opposites attract and personalities intertwine, a comic drama unfolds that captures both heart and mind. | |||||

Synopsis: | Eighteen and about to launch themselves into life; Angela, Steven and Morgan spend what they know are to be there last few days together. Reluctant to give up their adolescent friendships but eager to forge ahead. Before they can do so there are a few questions that must be asked and a few conversations must be had in this touching adolescent journey. A sincere and mature piece of writing which will be sure to spawn many secondary productions with youth groups and schools.
