0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Bird is a challenging, important - and difficult story to tell.
0:06:39 > 0:06:45- It's about Ava, a girl - who is raised in care homes...
0:06:45 > 0:06:51- ..without love or a family.
0:06:51 > 0:06:58- The play deals with the relationship - and friendship of two young girls...

0:07:14 > 0:07:19- We see how the girls ended up - in this situation...

0:08:01 > 0:08:06- I play Claire who is Ava's mother.
0:08:06 > 0:08:13- It's safe to say that they have a - complex and strained relationship.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48- All the lead characters - are strong female roles.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54- In a lot of plays, men take the lead - and women are part of the plot...
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- ..but this has changed - in recent years.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Can you do it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- He takes us there - but I only go to get chips after.

0:09:28 > 0:09:35- This is an opportunity to encourage - audiences in Wales and elsewhere...
0:09:35 > 0:09:43- ..to speak about those people - and question the system.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- Some elements are tragic - and pull on your heart strings.
0:09:49 > 0:09:56- It's important because I'm not aware - of this story being told...
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- ..and it hasn't been done - in this way before.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- The girls are strong and - strength breeds success and hope.
0:10:07 > 0:10:15- The story and experiences - of these girls are difficult...
