Try and hold it in your head –
All those impossible things that have to happen
And they all have to come right
For us even to be born.
Try and focus it, all in your mind,
Are you focusing it?
Are you?
Twenty-four hours. Twenty-four lives. Ghost City weaves together a few moments from the lives of lost souls in Cardiff where love falters, dies, and endures. Gary Owen's new play is a sharp, streetwise snapshot of contemporary urban life that swells and builds across twenty-five scenes to give the authentic sound of a city.
This is fuckin Cardiff, mun
People get shot here every two fuckin minutes
Ghost City was produced by Sgript Cymru and premiered at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, in March 2004.
"A blazing new talent."â??Guardian
"A blast of brilliant theatrical writing straight from the heart of post-modern Wales."
