Prime Cut and The MAC bring you BAFTA award-winning writer (off of This is England, The Fades and Skins fame) Jack Thorne’s hard-hitting play Mydidae as part of the Ulster Bank Belfast International Arts Festival. Running from 20th – 25th October, this is one of eighteen premieres that will be shown as part of the Ulster Bank Belfast International Arts Festival and is produced under Prime Cut’s Reveal programme and the BBC fellowship, which help to develop emerging artists.
Mydidae is the story of two ordinary people, in an ordinary bathroom, on a not so ordinary day.
Marian and David expose more than just skin in this most intimate of settings. Taking its name from a cosmopolitan family of flies, Mydidae invites the audience to become flies on the wall and witness the unravelling of love in the face of guilt and grief. It’s guaranteed to move you.
Premiering one week after National Infant and Pregnancy Loss awareness day, this poignant play subtly explores issues surrounding child loss and its effects on surrounding relationships. Rhiann Jeffrey, Director and part of Prime Cut Productions Reveal program explains, “I hope that anyone who has been in a relationship will be able to relate to some aspect of Mydidae – regardless of the couples circumstances. The play addresses universal issues and offers a rare insight into a very private place with very ordinary people”.
