I drove into Mumbles last night with a slightly broken car, tired, but very happy. We had a read-through of the first draft of Aberystywth Mon Amour yesterday in a friendly village hall with a lovely group of actors who had given up their time and an afternoon to help us listen to Malcolm's first draft. It was great. For a first draft, we were very pleased indeed. It's very encouraging when actors spontaneously laugh out loud during a read-through, and Malcolm has done a great job of transferring his Welsh Noir world onto the stage and in play form. There's still a lot of work to do, but it's very exciting, and we can't wait until the summer so we can get on with it now!
In the meantime, it's time to get the script of Joe Bach out again. We have a series of shows in Ystradgynlais this week; it is always great fun taking people around the streets of this lovely Swansea Valley town. It's not difficult to see why Josef Herman fell in love with it so. Come along if you fancy, and see what we do...3pm, the Welfare, Ystradgynlais.
