Is pure comedy worth less than high art?

I finally saw One Man, Two Guvnors on the weekend, and laughed every bit as I'd been warned I would. The relentless slapstick, bawdy humour and asides to the audience - at once old-fashioned in form but sharp and unexpected in delivery - make the production, as Michael Billington wrote in…

The best theatre of 2011 - how was it for you?

Great to read Susannah Clapp's feature in yesterday's Observer on The Best Theatre of 2011, which started by saying:

"The Passion was the year's revelation. Ranging over the whole of Port Talbot, bringing people out in droves, rousing them to cheers and reducing them to tears,…

Gwyn Thomas in Colombia

Last week I meet Colombian writer and novelist Juan Esteban Constaín, who was visiting Wales as a guest of the British Council.

He'd already had a whirlwind tour of the Hay Festival, which had obviously impressed him very much, but he also wanted to know more about our national theatre.
