A double bill of new writing from Eno Theatre about mental illness aims to raise money for charity, raise awareness and get people talking<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"actor,

A double bill of new writing which will raise money for mental health charities is to be showcased this month. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unspoken,<\/a> a combination of two original plays by Katie Ryde and Gareth Ford, will be performed in the Atrium from 5-7 December. <\/span><\/p>\n

The plays, Writing to Reach You and Leeches, will be performed back to back and tackle the individual experience of mental illness<\/a> and its outward effect on family relationships. <\/span><\/p>\n

Eno theatre, the year old Cardiff-based theatre company behind the event, is giving all ticket proceeds to Hafal and Mind Cymru. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hafal is a welsh charity managed by people who have experienced mental illness. It aims to help others recover through empowerment and self-management. Mind provides sufferers with information about support services. <\/span><\/p>\n

Both charities hope to normalise conversations about mental health. Danny Muir, Eno Theatre\u2019s freelance producer, hopes the plays relay the message that talking about mental illness is vital to recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"depression,

He said: \u201cWe want to reach people who need to be reached. As prevalent as mental health problems are, people don\u2019t really talk about it. And they should talk about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Danny added that the plays show people experiencing problems and their attempts to get help. \u201cThis impacts them and their ability to function as a member of society,\u201d he said. He hopes the show will inspire people to seek support. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tim Foley writer of The Dogs of War, a 2015 play about mental illness in two generations of a family, also believes theatre has the power to catalyse much needed conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told The Stage: \u201cThe key to breaking down those barriers is talking. \u201cTheatre can do that; it can break down the social barriers and fear of talking about something like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
