'Postcard from the Future - Wales'

50 years from now, what will the UK look like? Four respected wordsmiths wrote and performed monologues for us from the perspective of a post Brexit Britain in 2069. Check out the other Postcards from the Future for Scotland, England and Northern Ireland.

Writer and actor Kyle Lima wrote the postcard for Wales and performed it at the Barbican on 23rd March during the Art 50 festival. The full performance will be available here on Wednesday 3rd April.

'In the 50 year aftermath of Brexit, in which the United Kingdom has become more insular and divided, the City of Cardiff, with it's historically groundbreaking multiculturalism and integration, has inspired the forging of the W.I.C.K.E.D party, who with it's unwavering stance on the essentialness of unity and inclusion, extends a hand to the rest of the UK offering them the opportunity to become a WICKED party memeber and potentially even, Welsh too'
