It may turn out to be an invaluable resource. Or the last refuge of the terminally deluded.

Day 88 - Publikumsbeschimpfung - Centre For Visual & Performing Arts, Aberystwyth

Don't ask me to say it. I can't. I did just try and failed impressively. The students at the College put on a cracking show. I haven't been back since I left to commence this research project and it was a strange experience. A bit like returning to school after taking time off ill... terrifying…

PERSIANS. O'Reilly. blog one

How do you make a new version of the first play in the Western theatrical canon, which also happens to be the World’s oldest recorded script, first produced in 472 BCE and written, in my opinion, by a genius?

The PERSIANS group page has lain silent for so long partly because of the efforts needed to broach the above, and my superstitious Irish soul not wanting to hex the process in what has been one of the most illuminating and exhilarating projects of my life.

PERSIANS… Continue

Gaming meets theatre... Play tests and game development in Prestatyn



Gaming meets theatre... Or is it vice-versa?



GDD



At the moment Rhiannon, Bethan and I are working on refinements to our game design document, which is the definitive guide to everything that can happen in the course of The Beach game.



The game design document - or GDD - is like a script I suppose because there are… Continue

The Devil Inside Him - a longer review

I reviewed The Devil Inside Him in about 250 words for the latest issue of Buzz Magazine, out 1 June, but as part of the National Theatre Critics scheme I submitted a longer, more reflective piece on the play to my mentor Lyn Gardner, which I've posted below.… Continue

New Designer On The Block.

Hello Everyone.

My name is Dan. I am new to this community website. Recently finished set design in university and I am currently looking for work and a new challenge to get my teeth in to.

I am open to any work that is up for offer. The more experience and the more variety of work the better as I like to think that you learn more on the job and by meeting with everyone and coming together as a…

Audience Quotes - NTW03

After being involved with the promotion of The Devil Inside Him I managed to obtain some quotes from audience members giving their insight into the performance. Two people have replied - the first opinion is from an industry expert (who prefers to remain anonymous) and the second from a theatre graduate - Ian Geraghty:…

Day 86 - Watching through my window - My House

It's 11:34 am and I am sat by the front window of my house watching people as they pass by. The shop across the road sells bacon and eggs which I have purchased on a number of occasions. Each time I have the same conversation about the eggs in which I am assured that while they are not called free range they do come from hens that are free range in everything but name. Obviously someone has mislabeled them as there is a 3 printed on the shell in red ink. The box reliably informs me that… Continue

Review: Hijinx Theatre - 'Into My Own' by Glenys Evans - The Stage

For almost 30 years Hijinx has staged plays that not only entertain but in many cases carry significant social messages, often exploring physical and/or learning disabilities.

Glenys Evans’ play is a prime example of this courageous policy, with the added relevance that the cast of four features Sara Pickard who herself has such difficulties. Her performance is a…

Day 85 - On the road again - Back to Aberystwyth

The journey back to Aber was excruciatingly hot. Ben's Nissan Sunny doesn't have air conditioning and that it goes at all is quite a surprise. Wales is looking extremely green at this time of year. Sheep throwing themselves at wire fences to escape the oncoming traffic are in danger of bouncing right back into the road. They look a whole lot hotter than us, apparently they don't get sheared any more as the wool has no value, instead they are left to scrape it off.


We…
