About
Capel Salem, Gwynedd. In 2025, two Welsh nationalists hide out with ‘Salem’ – a painting they’ve stolen from a Liverpool art gallery to decolonise Welsh art. In 1908, Sydney Curnow Vosper paints, his vision disputed by its sitters. Is it possible to ever prescribe a work of art’s meaning?
Writer Lisa Parry
Director Sara Lloyd
In collaboration with Sherman Theatre
