About us
Dir. Marc Evans, UK, 2026, 90 mins. In Welsh with English subtitles. Cast. Leisa Gwenllian, Tom Rhys Harries, Owen Alun, Nel Rhys Lewis, Mared Llywelyn, Sion Eifion, Carys Gwilym and Leah Gaffey.
Based on Gary Owen's much lauded and widely performed one-woman play, Iphigenia in Splott, Effi o Blaenau is director Marc Evans' cinematic interpretation set against the wide open landscapes of North Wales. The Welsh-language film follows Effi, a young woman desperate to escape a town where the pubs are closed, the jobs have vanished and her grandmother works night shifts in the local chip shop just to get by. A chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee, played by Tom Rhys Harries, briefly opens a door to something better. For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher.
"A tremendous performance from Gwenllian, blistering. An absorbing, propulsive story that keeps you on the edge of your seat" ★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
