The Merthyr Stigmatist at the Sherman Theatre
Is something incredible happening in Merthyr, something which defies logic? Carys, a sixteen year-old school pupil, claims to have received the stigmata: Christ’s wounds from the Cross. Are her wounds a sign from God? Sian, Carys’s teacher is not so sure and questions what she sees. What is happening to Carys and why? Why shouldn’t Merthyr be worthy of God’s attention?
Lisa Parry’s riveting and poignant drama tackles theology, doubt and life in the Valleys in 2020.
