Gwennie
The discovery that a treasured Gwen John drawing is a fake triggers the final collapse of a relationship. Ian Rowlands' play charts the journey from loving to loathing.
Michael and Gwen are looking back at their relationship, trying to pinpoint exactly where it all went wrong. They were happy, once. Their relationship was full of love, fun and lust. But with time, bitterness and jealousy has settled in, with arguments and mind games becoming normality. Something had to give.....and it does. Gwen's treasured drawing turns out to be fake. Michael's pleasure at this discovery is the last straw for Gwen. Ian Rowlands' play is a dark and honest account of facing up to the reality of a relationship in crisis.
