Hi all - we're coming back to the Valleys with Tonypandemonium in Oct this year. Come and join the show group to get all the updates.

Also,

I'm really pleased to be able to tell you that WalesLab is now taking new submissions. (I'm really excited about this)

WalesLab, is National Theatre Wales creative development programme for new theatre ideas. It's an opportunity for writers, directors, actors, choreographers, designers, performance artists, installation-makers and multi-media experimenters across Wales to develop new ideas in association with the company.

We are particularly interested in hearing from artists who are based in or originally from Rhondda Cynon Taf and the surrounding areas, or who have a story to tell about its communities to feature as part of the company's residency at the Park and Dare Theatre, Treorchy.

Join the WaleLab group to find out more information or give me a shout on here if you have any questions.

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.

I don't suppose I was the first boy to have my first kiss behind a slag heap. I guess that must mean something different now a days!
My aunty had a good time with a GI but I never got to know just how good it was. I saw the nylons though -coupon free!

Like mum running out after the milk cart to sweep up the horses 'doings' to put on the garden and after the coal cart to sweep up any fallen coal. " my father works too hard underground for it to go to waste." She took her jug out to Cutty The Milk who filled it from a churn on the back of the cart. It was quite a smart cart and a much more tidy horse than the one the coal-man had.
