Hela

＂Do’s dim hawl ’da ti adael,
Do’s dim hawl ’da ti anghofio pwy wyt ti＂

＂You don’t get to leave,
You don’t get to forget who you really are＂

Erin, a young mother, has lost her son - but no one will listen. Driven and desperate, she must find him by any means necessary.

When everything - including justice - is determined by an algorithm, can data truly be trusted? Can deep-seated pain ever be defused? And how far will Erin be willing to go to see justice happen?

Mari Izzard’s debut bilingual play Hela is a dark and unsettling tale of dirty family secrets and vigilante justice.
