It’s like the Volga, enormous, beautiful and unmanageable.
‘It just makes a Welsh couple look like darn fools, preying on a vulnerable boy.’
Read Yuri’s worst review. ‘This is comedy at its most entertainingly confusing.’

Patrick and Adele can’t have children and then Yuri turns up.
But who is Yuri? Why is he here? Is he dangerous? Is he Russian? Should we love him?Fabrice Melquiot’s surreal play is about infertility, scrabble, supermarkets, sex, the state of the world and the stranger in your living room. It’s also about perpetuating your genes, and adopting, about a raffle, national identity, racism, and the absurdity of wanting to bring children into our deranged world. And it’s about love.
Ni all Patrick ac Adele gael plant ac wedyn ymddengys Yuri. Ond pwy yw Yuri? Pam y mae yma? A yw’n beryglus? Rwsiad yw e? A ddylem ei garu? Dama am anffrwythlondeb, sgrabl, archfarchnadoedd, rhyw, yr hinsawdd, hunaniaeth genedlaethol, hiliaeth, y dieithryn yn eich lolfa ac abswrdiaeth eisiau dod â phlant i mewn i fyd gwallgof. Mae hefyd am gariad.
