We're Still Here review – a blast of anger, love and grief in Port Talbot


Byass Works, Port Talbot The community speaks out about the fight to save its steelworks in a kaleidoscopic promenade-style production that is laced with earthy humour‘This town is ours. In 80 minutes they offer us fragments from the continuing fight to save the last heavy industry in Wales. As one of the workers says: “If you can smell sulphur in the air, it means someone in Port Talbot is getting paid.” But fewer are getting paid, and the patchwork voices we hear are full of a fierce anger, love and often grief for what has been lost.
