One tall, skinny Welshman with an agenda of national importance: there’s a truth behind every good story.

Jones and Davis are fighting.

There’s a skeleton in the well.

There’s more to being Welsh than having the accent, isn’t there?

Accompanied by a live soundscape artist creating a river of sounds in front of you, join performer Steffan Donnelly on a watery lyrical thriller as he guides you through Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch and into his world of slippery small-town myth-making.

Pontio’s new associate company, the award-winning Invertigo Theatre (Y Tŵr, My People), and The Conker Group’s Tara Robinson, present My Body Welsh – a vibrant, part-bilingual piece of contemporary theatre that investigates the role storytelling plays in constructing national identity.

‘Sheer innovation…a charmingly universal tale’ **** Art Review Wales

‘ystyron a ffraethinebau yn byrlymu…perl o noson’ (meanings and wit bubbling through…a pearl of a night) ***** Golwg

‘Steeped in folklore…laugh-out-loud lines…intelligent stuff presented in a light, idiosyncratic, way’ **** Art Scene Wales
