Dear friends, 

As Head of Communication for National Theatre Wales I am writing this post to let you know that I will be leaving the organisation at the end of this week on 5th November 2016.

We launched the first season of work with a live webcast on the same date…

Somebody sent me this great photo of Wales from outer space i really love how you can see all of the landscape, valleys and mountains. You can see how impassable mid-wales can be and why the roads twist and turn. 

You can also see how easy it is to be up a mountain, on a beach or walking in a forest...National Theatre Wales…

When I meet people working in theatre or the creative industry they often ask me what it's like working for National Theatre Wales and I tell them that NTW gives you the opportunity to be a Pirate.

What I mean by this is that the organisation allows you to take risks, to challenge the status quo, to hijack and steal ideas, to be light, adaptable and to change the course of the ship.

Today marks six years that a bunch of pirates launched the…

Do you know the Rhondda like no one else ?

National Theatre Wales want to work with you this Sept/Oct. We’re in Treorchy for the whole of October with our show “Tonypandemonium” handmade at the Park and Dare Theatre. 

We have loads of opportunities to get involved with National Theatre Wales and to play your part. We need someone who can shout loud enough so that everyone knows whats up and has a chance to get involved, but we need your local knowledge…

I have been asked to write a post about the 'Do Lectures' which I attended last weekend. Normally I would shy away from such things as I am not much of a writer, my grammer is bad and my spelling even worse so apologies in advance. I am going to keep it pretty short, 5 simple points and a few photos as that will help pad it out. 

1. The Do Lectures - Talks that inspire action 

The Do Lectures is an annual event that takes place…

DeGabay has now sold out, but if you have family and friends who haven’t been able to purchase a ticket they can still attend most of the show.

As a valued member of the National Theatre Wales Community we’re letting you into a little secret. #NTWY3, our 2013 season of work, will be launched at noon on Thursday 24^th January but you can get a sneak peek before then by joining the show groups on the Community and discovering the show #tags this evening.

National Theatre Wales is running a competition to create a video sting for the NTWY3 launch.

We are looking for short videos that use the word NTWY3 in the piece. We have been inspired by the original 1980’s MTV video stings (MTV Videos have a scout around the channel) and want to create a range of videos in the same spirit.…

To anyone who thinks of arts festivals as a fun bit of window dressing, David Binder’s rejoinder is: look again, and look more closely. In this spirited talk, given at…

Good morning fellow members,

It’s been a pretty active couple of weeks at National Theatre Wales HQ we have been monitoring your feedback, fixing bugs and replying to your emails surrounding the changes made to the community.

We had a few minor glitches and initial scary moments over the first couple of days of the launch. The disappearing of the discussions from groups was one of those moments, but a little bit of digital tinkering and we found them…

We have two shows left that you can book for one for tomorrow 5th July and one for next week on the 12th July both shows have half the tickets sold so you'll need to get in quick and what better way…

What started with an idea to tell the story of 'The Passion' online in real time through-out the weekend, grew into one of the most exciting campaigns I have ever worked on.

Michael and Bill's vision to use the town as a set, with the idea to, use it's radio stations, fly poster sites, graffiti artists and video makers to tell the story allowed us to really push the boat out in terms of our thinking.

This viral campaign made the event unique in many ways constantly…

We are offering you one last chance to get tickets to experience 'The Passion' this weekend at 12:00PM Wednesday 20th April an extra 50 tickets for each day will be released to the Box Office but do hurry as they will be in demand.



If you don't manage to get a ticket please remember that you can still experience the majority of the episodes across the three days as they take place in large open public spaces with good visibility for those who do not have tickets.…
