Rushen Players

A Strong Smell of Burning

The action takes place in the ninth century, in a very poor hovel in Wessex, belonging to Oswald, a Saxon peasant and his family. This is the first play  by Graham Evans, a former coal miner and soldier, now self-employed as an itinerant Poet and \Window Cleaner to the gentry. Graham was born in Aberystwyth but raised 'down south' in the Rhymney Valley. This play won the coveted Crawshaw Cup in 2003. The play  was also presented by Rushen Players at the MADF One Act Play Festival in February where it won three awards.
