About

Theatr na nÓg are renowned for bringing inspirational, Welsh stories to the stage. Proudly rooted in the Welsh Valleys, we create original theatre in English and Welsh that genuinely connects, inspires and enriches people of all ages across Wales and beyond. 

We are excited to present an abridged version of Nick Davies and Brett Davies’ play When Pelé Broke Our Hearts based on the book by Mario Risoli. A series of miracles means the underdogs of Wales have qualified for their first ever World Cup! But after tragedy strikes their manager and star player in the lead-up to the tournament, will the team be able to rally together, to beat the odds - on and off the pitch…? This will be an opportunity to experience the start of a new and exciting production for audiences in Wales.
