Waulah Cymru represents a 500-strong, multi-generational community, of Pakistani heritage, defined by unity and togetherness. We are delighted to return to the Sherman to perform again, seven years after we staged Home, exploring the community’s roots in Pakistan and growing sense of belonging in Cardiff. We have enjoyed reflecting on that profound experience and continuing our story, through the younger generation, who are excited to consider and celebrate their dual nationality in performance, as well as their love of all things cricket!
