On the front pew of St David's Cathedral sit three (seemingly) sweet, harmless old ladies. Pillars of their community, friends to many, and the town gossip for all. Perfectly content to spend however long they have left with their noses firmly planted in the business of every relationship, affair, and shop floor configuration in the local area. However, soon after meeting them, their regular routine is disrupted in two ways - firstly, new arrival to the city, David, whose English accent they find near impossible to parse. Then, the bigger news - a certain sex bomb, international pop star and national treasure, is coming to visit their cathedral. And there’s only two and a half days to prepare!The three main characters are three queer clowns in ‘mature lady drag’, peeking through a thin fourth wall and playing their characters with complete honestly….most of the time.  With airtight dialogue carrying whip smart wit, tender monologues, and spattering of the welsh language, Pews at Ten is a love letter to older generations wrapped in a joyous, slapstick whirlwind. As mentioned in Everything Theatre’s recent review - ‘Pews at Ten is a ridiculously entertaining show, both in concept and execution - don’t be surprised when you see this groups name in lights at the end of the year’.Running time: Approximately 55 minutesLATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED.UNDER 18s ARE NOT PERMITTED INTO THE THEATRE FOR THIS PERFORMANCE.No re-admittance once the performance has commenced.

Nneka is a resident doctor finishing a late shift—another unrelenting and dangerously understaffed work day. Typical. Just as she is about to leave, she is suddenly asked to lead a Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) conversation with the relative of a patient she has never met, and about a patient she doesn't know, all under intense time pressure. Set entirely within this single encounter, the play exposes the emotional dissonance, absurdity, and dark humour of end-of-life decision-making in a healthcare system stretched to breaking point. As healthcare services continue to operate under relentless strain, life-altering conversations are increasingly delivered in rushed, imperfect circumstances by exhausted clinicians. This play invites the audience to sit inside one such moment as a fly on the wall, witnessing the collision of grief, bureaucracy, compassion, and detachment—and asking what it really means to remain humane within an inhumane system.Running time: Approximately 60 minutesLATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED.UNDER 18s ARE NOT PERMITTED INTO THE THEATRE FOR THIS PERFORMANCE.No re-admittance once the performance has commenced.
