Idyll

By Matt Hartley

Ebook £7.99£6.39

Tempers are fraying in the scorching heat as a rural village is overwhelmed by noise, cars and day trippers… Scratch the surface and you'll find danger bubbling away.

Matt Hartley's captivating 60-minute play Idyll was first presented as an open-air production by Pentabus Theatre Company in 2021.

Note to Performers: the play is written for a single performer, but it could be performed by a larger cast sharing the lines between them.

Idyll is also available in the volume The Wife of Cyncoed & Idyll: Two Plays.

'A map does not really tell you about the people who live in it.
Their tics, their traits.
So that is what I am here to do.
I am going to bring them and the story to life.'
