Lease of Life - Graig Du Theatre Players

I will post a blog in the near future about what kind of work I will be inviting to be submitted from playwrights in the Rhondda. This will be a gradual beginning before more openings appear for others to contribute from different areas. The aim is to provide a fresh outlook for audiences and not rely on the usual stereotypical formula. I will also be posting…

Parallel Lines Assistant Director post show thoughts

It has been a week since 'Parallel Lines' finished and I'm pleased to say the audience response has been amazing, for example:

"I’m still buzzing with the exhilaration of seeing Parallel Lines last night at the Ffyrnes, Llanelli.  The script was powerful and relevant, and the staging was simple but so effective in its focussed austerity.  Best of all, it featured four highly-talented actors all of whom gave brilliant performances.  Thank…

Tied Cottage - Graig Du Theatre Players

Another curious tale that came up in discussions with a previous incarnation of the group was the problem of obsession and how far would a person convince themselves that they were correct in their assumptions. Character became secondary to this premise. The play came about from a throwaway remark by Martin Summers that the past never really leaves one. Jack…

Artists/ Producers/ Mentors / Mentees

Over the last year or so, we’ve been making efforts to support the development of creative producers in Wales. Much of this has been about trying to help demystify the role, as it's a relativly new one (by the way, if you’re still wondering what a creative producer does, take a look at our Huddle hosted by our very own Executive Producer, Lisa Maguire, and independent producer, Sarah Leigh).



We are keen to see more…

Life in a Small-Scale Theatre Company...On Scarborough Front

Written by Stuart Fortey and with music specially composed by Andrew Griffiths, we perform the piece in secondary schools all over Swansea and the district, followed by a Q&A. It is a two-hander with Huw Novelli playing Wilfred and I am playing the…

The Manacled Mutineer - Graig Du Theatre Players

I have included an extract from another play that will have a rehearsed reading in the near future. The play tells of Ambrose, in his late eighties, who is dying in a Welsh hospital. Appalled by his treatment because he believes he has been lying in bed for far too long, he understands he is being slowly poisoned by the morphine that has been injected into…
