Papertrail, in association with Clean Break, are presenting Siân Owen’s powerful play, A Visit.
A Visit is about crime, justice and childcare, and who takes care of the kids when a mum gets sent to prison.
Fifteen year old Angharad is visiting her mum Ffion in a prison far away from their home in Aberdare. She’s been taken there by her Aunty Carys, who has been doing her best to look after her, but it’s not easy taking care of a teenager and Aunty Carys never planned on being a mum. So who is going to look after Angharad?
Papertrail and Siân Owen have created a gripping piece of theatre inspired by the real life stories of the women and young people they have worked with.
All performances include creative captions and two British Sign Language (BSL) Performance Interpreters: Claire Anderson and Cathryn McShane.
Post Show Talk
A guest speaker will be joining the cast and director for the post show discussion after the performance of A Visit.

These discussions will be held in the same space directly after the show. There will be a slight pause while cast prepare to come back on stage and be part of the discussion. This allows audiences to stay or leave.
We will hold a space directly after the show to discuss the themes, how we approached our research and creating the show. We will be joined by a representative from PACT – Prison Advisory Care Trust who have advised and supported us on this show.
