Life in a Small-Scale Theatre - A Plea for Space.

Hi All,

Compliments of the season to you.

We were wondering if anyone out there might know of a storage space going for flats etc. We have the Shirley Valentine and Aberystwyth Mon Amour set looking for storage space and we were hoping we could find a convenient home for it.

If anyone's got any idea, could you let us know here or at lighthousetheatreltd@gmail.com?

Many thanks..and a merry Christmas!

Life in a Small-Scale Theatre Company - Hard Times

This is the first time that I have attempted to produce two shows at the same time. It has its own challenges.

Hard Times is - obviously - a show on a larger scale than Bells of Santiago (which is ironic in itself, as its charm is its seeming off the cuff theatricality) but even then it has been great just getting people together.

Since last we posted, we have got our team of creatives together, we have cast the show, we have printed the posters and are putting the finishing…

Life in a Small-Scale Theatre Company - Bells of Santiago

We are approaching the end of the first week and it is amazing how much work this bunch have got through already. 

It is a little odd for me as it is the first time I have not been 'in' one of our schools' projects; when I'm in the room, I'm desperate to get involved but am also shocked by how much appears to get done when I'm not around!...is there a reason for this...

A weekend to let things bed in beckons.

Well done team. Adrian x

Life in a Small-Scale Theatre - Hard Times (Producer's Blog)

Now, what I want is..FACTS!

That's almost the first line of Stephen Jeffreys' adaptation of Charles Dickens' Hard Times. It is a masterful adaptation of a masterful novel. And in these times, it seems entirely appropriate. 

We've loved this version for years and have always wanted to do it, and now with the collaboration of Pontardawe Arts Centre, the Arts Council and Ty Cerdd, we're giving it a go.

We're lucky enough to have on board the lovely Joe Harmston as director.…
