MWGSI / October 2017
A brutally honest and humorous account of the notoriety and loneliness of a teenager living with cancer.
New drama from Manon Steffan Ros.
“It was going to be epic. I was just a normal 18 year old.
“A-level stress was but a brief blur. Ready for a wine filled summer before I started nursing degree. Then bang! No duty free, a piss-up and a sun tan for me.
“The toughest and shittiest year of my life.”
Instead of a hell-raising, wine-filled summer with the girls, 18 year old Mwgsi enters a world of chemo, illness and the loneliness of a strange, tragic figure.
The tension between Mwgsi, her friends, her family and herself offers a piece of theatre full of dark humour that will force us to confront our own uncertain futures.

The story
The drama is based on the blog by Megan Davies which recorded her experiences of living and coping with cancer at 18 years old.
Now that Megan is cancer-free, she joined forces with Frân Wen and author Manon Steffan Ros to adapt her blog for the main stage.
