Stories From An Invisible Town
A wild and wonderful collection of dark comic stories
"Let me tell you about the imaginary town I lived in as a boy…”
This collection of dark comic stories woven together by BBC award-winning writer, “the great Welsh storyteller” (The Stage), Shôn Dale-Jones is as much about the imagination as it is about innocence and not knowing what to do with the things we know.
Shôn takes us from the empty swimming pool up the hill to behind the woods, introducing us to five-foot Tarzan, Double Delyth and Lord Ivor as we feel the magnetic pull of the river sucking us in. As this made up town starts to feel more real, Shôn wonders what’s happening to his imagination - it’s running riot. Joyous, stomach-turning, moving and very funny - could this be the best show Shôn has ever made? It could be.
