New play at Dorchester

A WELSH theatre company makes its debut with Dorchester Arts at the Corn Exchange on Tuesday 22nd October. Decommissioned is the first play from Wise Ram Theatre, written by co-director playwright Molly Ann Sweeney.

Wise Ram Theatre is a new neurodiverse theatre company, which aims to make theatre about the climate crisis.

“Cariad, I care about climate change too, but I live in a place where there are three buses a day and I can’t afford a Tesla!”

Elis wants to guide a class of ten-year-olds to become ethical, informed citizens. Gwen wants to tell the unvarnished truth – in the next 30 years the village they grew up in will be gone.

Inspired by the true story of Fairbourne in Wales, Decommissioned is a described as a “heart-warming, comical and intimate” play about how we’re meant to care for children, fall in love and stay sane while tackling the climate catastrophe.
