Set in the 1980s & 90s, in Cardiff, London & America, Richard tells the story of Richard Edwards as he might have told it. A story of hope & despair in equal measure, it's an account of an unhappy young man who'll try anything & everything to get some peace from the voice in his head that tells him he's useless, that he'd be better off dead. He drinks, takes risks & drugs both, & even cuts himself sometimes, because physical pain can be easier to bear than emotional. He can't play a musical instrument, but that doesn't stop him from joining a band
- & as that band becomes more & more successful (record deals & interviews in the music press; national & international tours, & managers who seem to have bottomless pockets), it seems he might just be okay after all. But the demons that nag at him won't be easily assuaged, & ultimately, he has to decide whether or not he has a future. The story of a band looking to make it big & a young, troubled soul looking just to make it through the night, Richard marks the arrival of a dazzling new talent.
