WINNER Total Theatre Award 2006

Hoipolloi are proud to welcome you to the wonderful world of Hugh Hughes.

1 April 1982. The Isle of Anglesey is hit by an earthquake, the Menai Bridge collapses and the island is torn from the mainland of Wales. Trapped on board is Hugh Hughes, desperate to escape and discover life outside his small island

Hugh and his collaborative partner Sioned Rowlands colourfully reconstruct the island’s journey across the Atlantic, up to the Arctic and beyond.

A show that amuses and delights whilst asking are we defined by where we come from?
