Welsh actor Richard Mylan has spoken about his 20-year heroin addiction and the support that helped him get his life back as he unveils his new play, Sorter, which tackles the issue or drug dependancy.
Speaking on the latest episode of WalesOnline’s podcast In The Spotlight, Richard described how lockdown was a huge factor in putting together the play and deciding to talk about his addiction. He explained: “I was forced to sit still and the memories were prominent in my mind. I just thought that I have got to try and make sense of that part of my life. Otherwise, I'm gonna go mad during this lockdown period.
“I've got to try and maybe document it in some way, so I can look at it from an outside perspective. It was so I could have a more of an overview of it, rather than it being this sort of jumbled mess in my head.” Listen to the full episode below.
