When we started Tin Shed Theatre Co. back in 2010 we didn’t know much about business side of making theatre. We were never taught about funding, or support schemes, we didn’t really know what R&D meant, and we never performed any sort of “work in progress”, we just made things and found places to perform them. We worked two jobs and paid an equal share into our productions to get them off the ground. Five years on, reflecting on our early work methods, the whole thing seems ludicrous,…

I’ve seen a few of August 012’s work in the past, and had a bonkers experience as an audience member. Now, I’m working with Mathilde and the company as the assistant director to stage the farcical play which is YURI – and the first few days have most definitely been… boncyrs!

So far in the rehearsal room the wonderful and playful cast (Carys Eleri, Ceri Murphy and Guto Wynne Davies) have had me in stitches as they begin their…

Hello,

We here at Tin Shed Theatre Co. couldn't be happier to announce that we are ready and are currently commencing our second Molecule (a fledgling development scheme) of the year.

Molecule for us does three things:

1 - It allows us to engage with new artists, both resident on the scheme, associated with and as a visitor to the sharing.

2 - It allows selected…

Josh loved playing the glorious grand in Maesteg Town Hall tonight. Great venue, great audience, great fun!

We are filming a short film in South West Wales in early November and we’re after a farmhouse to shoot in.

In the story a father and his son live on the farm alone, the mother is gone and the place is a little rundown and outdated. We need the interior more than the exterior so it's doesn't have to be on a farm, it just needs to look rustic and slightly unloved.  We can dress the location to look like a farmhouse interior, so it could be…

Love this dress rehearsal shot by Noel Dacey of Karol's new work, Homo Irrationalis (at Chapter this weekend: http://www.chapter.org/homo-irrationalis)

It has become apparent through this process that we need to conduct some further formal consultation with our stakeholders. This means TEAM members, non-TEAM…
