“when clouds fill up the sky and the rain falls on you…I won’t mind, at least I feel alive’
The premiere of a new musical play which will seize your heart and capture your mind. With original songs written by Grammy Award Winner Amy Wadge (Thinking Out Loud with Ed Sheeran) we follow the story of Emmie who is torn between following her dreams of being a scientist and caring for her mother.
Set in the Welsh valleys to a country folk sound track, Emmie must decide between pursuing her passion for science and fascination with tornados, and her duty as a young carer devoted to her mother.
With a bursary to study in America up for grabs Emmie must fight to keep her place on her course and win the STEM competition with her invention for renewable energy.
This inspiring story features a live band on stage made up of a cast of 8 talented actor musicians.
A theatrical event of courage, determination and compassion, guaranteed to enthral and inspire young people and their families.
This production is linked to the Digital Competence Framework with educational programme created by Technocamps.
Suitable for Key Stage 2 and 3.
Theatr na nÓg is supported by PRS Foundation’s Beyond Borders.

Grammy winner Amy Wadge is one of the UK’s most prolific contemporary songwriters. Amy’s most notable success to date comes from her long established writing partnership with Ed Sheeran. Amy and Ed’s track Thinking Out Loud was the third single from Sheeran’s second album, the triple Grammy nominated X (Multiply). It went to No. 1 in the UK chart in November 2014 after spending 19 weeks in the Top 40, breaking the record for the longest ever ascent to the peak position. Closer to home, Amy has twice won Best Female Artist at the Welsh Music Awards, the first time ahead of Charlotte Church and the second ahead of Cerys Matthews. More recently she has enchanted TV audiences with her haunting soundtrack to the BBC Drama Keeping Faith.
