Description
Love is the rarest of things...it's the rarest trick...and we feel entitled to it, don't we?
Owen may live in the present but his mind remains lodged firmly in the past. As he's forced into a relationship with a teenager with emotional behavioural problems he blurs aspects of his current life with the memories of what might have been and the opportunities and relationships that could have changed his world. Riddled with regret over the man he loved and the chance to flee rural Wales he's unable to detach himself from past mistakes.
An exciting new play by an established Welsh writer inspired by experiences working at an emotional behavioral difficulty education unit. All But Gone explores a man's relationship with his past as two world collide and his fractured mind merges the life he once knew with the lonely world in which he exists.

Reviews
-
Trevannion's dialogue is full of humour and compassion, and his plotting constantly surprising, with past and present often presented simultaneously, in a manner reflecting Owen's growing confusion; there is a poetic false ending, though, which is somewhat dislocatory.

Trevannion displays great skill and empathy in his portraits of small-town lives disrupted by big emotions. This is a beautifully realised production of an unashamedly poignant play.?

Refreshingly uncynical exploration of the tragedy of lost love and the enduring hope of survival
