Horror in Theatre

I have been thinking a lot about horror as a genre lately. It's proving to be a very difficult medium for theatre because with theatre the audience sees all of what's there.

However, I think theatre needs to be a different kind of horror - more breach of trust horror than scary thing horror. Anybody got any good experiences of writing horror for…

My time with National Theatre Wales

A year ago, I got to know National Theatre Wales, because of a symposium about producing that was held at my school.

Matt Ball came to speak at this symposium and the first opportunity I got, I tackled him to ask if I could do an internship at NTW. He told me that NTW never takes interns, but I found another form in which I could still come over to work with NTW for about two…
