Don't. Breathe. A Word.

Radio DJ Grant Mazzy was once king of the airwaves, but his big mouth and even bigger ego have reduced him to a washed-up star. Forced to leave the national stations behind, he finds himself at Beacon Radio, Pontypool’s little-known station in the South Wales valleys.

On a snowy St Dwynwen’s Day, Mazzy and his team settle in for another breakfast show of news, weather, traffic and call-ins. But things take a disturbing turn when muddled reports come in of an outbreak of riots and babbling crowds in the town.

Panic spreads. Terror closes in. Can Mazzy remain on air to make sense of it all, or will Pontypool fall silent?

​

 Her (Mali O'Donnell) physicality is exceptional, and she ably delivers the vision of Movement and Intimacy Director, Lucy Glassbrook. Her realisation of the character and her twists and turns is delivered expertly right up to its explosive conclusion…**** Get the Chance Wales

​

 The audience seemed to savour the tension and intrigue of the whole affair... Mali was subtle in many ways and when infected... BUZZ Mag

​

Horror on stage isn’t the easiest to pull off, but it’s done here in a way that won’t soon be forgettable... Divination Hollow

​

Tense and so atmospheric I barely dared to breath at some moments... Cardiff Mummy Says
