New verbatim drama about plans to build a nuclear power station in North Wales
"The adjectives 'electrifying' and 'thrilling' are used to praise, from time to time, but not often to describe a literal impact on stage! In that regard, Sarah Bickerton's vision in directing the cast must be praised"

“It’s not us who have a hold over the land, it’s the land that has a hold over us.”
Plans are afoot to build a new nuclear power station on Anglesey. But what effect will Wylfa Newydd have on its nearest neighbours, as the capitalist machine attempts to swallow up a farm that has remained in the same family for generations?
Do we have a choice? How else can we ensure that the light stays on? And don’t we desperately need the jobs?
A bold new verbatim play about a community’s right to shape its own future. Constructed from interviews with local people, a cast of familiar faces brings to life the arguments for and against this most divisive of issues.
