An ordinary Tuesday turns really, really weird when the sky over the school playground suddenly rips open. Pupils and teachers are sucked up to a parallel universe, whilst a new set of people start raining down from above. 'Us' and 'Them' must come together to work out what is going on, and how they can get things back to how they were.Alison Carr's play Tuesday is funny and playful, with a little bit of sci-fi and a lot of big themes: friendship, family, identity, grief, responsibility - and what happens when an unexpected event literally turns the world upside-down.Written specifically for young people, the play formed part of the 2020 and 2021 National Theatre Connections Festivals and was premiered by youth theatres across the UK. It offers opportunities for a large, flexible cast of any size, age and mix of genders.This bilingual edition includes the original English play with a Welsh-language translation, Un Bore Mawrth, by playwright Daf James.Un Bore Mawrth''Wi 'di bod yn aros i rywbeth fel hyn ddigwydd.
