Sometimes leaving this world seems the only way to make sense of it.
Gerture and Abalone are agoraphobic. Left alone to their own devices after the tragic death of their parents in a tree pruning accident, they prepare to win ‘the eisteddfod’ with the performance of a lifetime; Macbeth. As the siblings’ stark reality coalesces with the darkly playful world of their imaginations, Lally Katz’s beloved black comedy The Eisteddfod makes it almost impossible to discern which is which.
