A Chinese girl growing up in a Welsh fishing village rejects her mother’s folklore, until she experiences one magical encounter.

Confronted with death, National Health Service founder Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan’s deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey back through his life; from childhood to mining underground, Parliament and fights with Winston Churchill.

A community is sleeping. If you listen closely, you can hear their dreams. The retired sea captain yearning for his lost love. The landlady living in terror of her guests. A father who can no longer access his memories. A son in search of redemption. As they awake to boiled eggs and the postman, the residents of a small Welsh village juggle old secrets and new realities.

Blue Monday is a modern day twist on Under Milk Wood. While Under Milk Wood lifted the lid on the small Welsh village of Laugharne over the course of one single day, Blue Monday lifts the lid on the lives and loves of the large city of Cardiff. Blue Monday, the most stressful night of the year. Four people with a decision to make, one that could change their lives. A cabbie, two police officers, a bar maid and a nurse (who also works in a neighbourhood brothel). One woman prepares for a reunion with a daughter she gave away at birth, another will have to choose between survival and family, a taxi driver comes to a shattering decision regarding his lover, while two police officers wrestle with their own demons while attempting to deal with the demons of others. A night of decisions. Followed by days of regret. Or not.
