Theatr Nonog: Beyond Borders

Eye of the Storm is a new country musical for young people written by Theatr na nÓg’s Artistic Director Geinor Styles, with original songs by Grammy Award winner Amy Wadge (Thinking Out Loud with Ed Sheeran).

The cast of 8 actor musicians tell the story of a young girl called Emmie who lives in the Welsh Valleys and dreams of being a ‘storm chaser.’ Her ultimate goal in life is to travel to Tornado Alley to study storms and find herself in the ‘Eye of the Storm’.

Emmie’s love of science and desire to track down the world’s most destructive natural forces takes her away from her everyday life of being a carer for her mother and the love and duty she has for her family. This is a life affirming show, guaranteed to lift your spirit and inspire young people that they can achieve their ambitions in life.
