Hi all,

I'm a doctoral student at Aberystwyth University performing research into National Theatre Wales' (NTW's) first year of work. I have prepared a quick online questionnaire to find out what audiences thought of NTW's first year of performances, and if you've seen one of their shows I would love to hear your thoughts:

http://www.ntw-research.org.uk

It doesn't matter whether you've seen only one performance or all of them so far: I'm interested in hearing from you. And if you do want to fill in the questionnaire more than once, to tell me your thoughts about different performances, then please do!

This research is independent, so honest answers welcomed, but has the support of NTW and is a really important part of my studies. For more information about my project please visit the website or send me an email at kis09@aber.ac.uk.

I hope you'll be able to help me with this, as the questionnaire will only take a couple of minutes to complete and you will be making a huge contribution to my research and to a field of study which up until now has been neglected

Many thanks,

Kirsty Sedgman

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the show which I saw on Saturday! Was funny, warm, authentic, moving and tremendously good fun, the whole audience absolutely loved it and I did too. Very very excited to see the other shows!

I think they've actually made very good choices in their casting, and I'm sure the time will come later in other productions for opportunities to use up and coming actors, but for this show, at this time, and in this place, they've got it spot-on. Selling drama productions in the Valleys is a bit of a hard slog and using well-known actors is definitely a bonus to get people to want to see the show. I don't think it's a case of wanting 'star power' for their first show - it just so happens that the first show is in the Valleys and is being made for a Valleys audience.

I just saw the cast list for A Good Night Out in the Valleys, and I must say I'm a little disappointed. Although I'm sure the people involved will pull off a great show, and one I'm looking forward to seeing, it would have been nice for there to have been a couple of lesser-known performers. I appreciate NTW are going for a bit of 'star power' for the opening performance, and a couple of well known names would still help with this, but I think it would've been nice to see a few actors who have a full background in theatre and haven't been in 'Belonging' or 'Skins', but deserve the chance to perform at this level. It's great that NTW aren't focusing purely on Cardiff and the main cities in this opening year, but in the same way it would've also been nice for them to use established names with some younger up-and-coming talent.
Not a major dig, more of an observation, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the show goes.

We are looking for enthusiastic people to become TEAM ambassadors for our first production ' A Good Night Out in the Valleys'!

An ambassador would represent National Theatre Wales in the various communities across the South Wales Valleys and help spread the word about 'A Good Night Out in the Valleys'.
There will be lots of different ways you can benefit from being a TEAM member and being a part of the TEAM would allow you to shape what National Theatre Wales does in the future.


If you would like to become part of the TEAM or want further information then please email me at hannahbevan@nationaltheatrewales.org.
