Experience this modern Welsh classic in a major new production

Let Effie guide you through the streets of today’s Cardiff. Step into her world. See how we live through her eyes.

It’s nearly a decade since Gary Owen’s heart-wrenching Iphigenia in Splott took the world by storm, entrancing audiences and critics alike, winning awards and becoming an international smash-hit.

Now, in 2024, one of the most important plays in Welsh theatre history returns more relevant and resonant than ever, with so much to say about life in Wales today. Alice Eklund’s powerful production of this new Welsh translation urgently brings this devastating classic to life once more. Full of raw emotion, empathy, compassion and heart, Iphigenia yn Sblot is a shattering wake-up call and the play we all need right now.

Performed in Welsh. Captions in English will be available at every performance.
