Hi Writers, a couple of years ago I organised several short nights at Chapter for Charity. Past nights included raising funds for Orphan Africa and MAP. I'd like to do another one this time raising much needed funds for Children in Syria. Last time we did monologues, music, duologues, extracts, dance, storytelling, with artists giving their time freely. It was a great way to raise funds and also for people to get work performed. We usually follow a theme so this one will be about 'Tomorrow' - whatever that means to you and perhaps raising issues of refugees/plight in Syria. It would also be more powerful for this to be an uplifting evening. If anyone is interested please contact me on rodstephens@btinternet.com - will be held in June, Carmen

Hi All, just a quick hello from Laugharne to apologise for quietness on the Dramaturgs front. We will be pulling together info in the next week or so on how to apply - it should be pretty straightforward, and then we'll turn it around quickly. The selection panel will be me, Lisa Maguire, Roger Williams and Kaite O'Reilly.  

Also, the eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that it's two years since the first biennial Wales Drama Award was announced.  The BBC have confirmed that they want to support this award with us again this year, so more details around that will be published in the next month or two.  Thought I should mention in case anyone wanted a heads up to start writing!!

Hello Lovely People!
I (relatively) recently moved back to Wales after an absence of many years working throughout the UK. In 2007 I set up a small theatre company in East Yorkshire, Human Compass. The aim of the company is to produce exciting work in traditional and non traditional spaces, which is intensely watchable, often uses a mixture of media and music to tell stories about what is means to be human.

I'm at a stage now where I'd love to re-establish the company in South Wales and would love to find writers to collaborate with on future projects. Until now I've written scripts myself, or used company devised pieces, but am very keen to find passionate writers with exciting, daring ideas!

If you'd be interested, or would like to find out more then please drop me a message on here or email - humancompasstheatre@yahoo.co.uk or visit the website www.humancompasstheatre.co.uk

Can't wait to hear from you!

James

BBC Writersroom 10 have just announced the writers they will be working with this year. Have a look at my blog for (welsh) news.

Appropos of getting reviewed nationally, it was wonderful to see a Guardian review of Louise Osborn's 'Maudie's Rooms'. A magical piece of work which held this fifty-something and his partner totally spellbound.

A diamond. Don't miss it.
