With Students @Bridgend College we were lucky to have one to one with the Writer/Actor/Director Stephen Berkoff, an insightful discussion where me said many honest things. That he struggles to get his work made or read, often literally depts don't even get back to him....with his body of work what chance does that give new writers, he also used the word dramaturd...lol, he said theatre is becoming eroded, where has the magic gone...I kind of agree

Bridgend College of F.E and H.E will be offering a 15 week course evening class on Scriptwriting of all mediums Film, Stage, Radio and TV from February 2015. The course has run successfully for the last few years. Many writers have found great success, recently our student won Best film at the Its My Shout Awards and another has been shortlisted for the Wales Drama Award. This is a proactive group where writers support each other leading to a show back of work at the end. You will undertake all aspects of writing participating in Pitching, active writing sessions, feedback, structure and finding the story that only you can tell. We also look at how to get your work on and heard. Guest professionals attend where possible. If you are interested get in touch with me here.

Hi All,

Another Lights down, Listen at Sherman Cymru. This time its the BRILLIANT DAFYDD JAMES who has written a wonderful play for us all to listen to - for free! Thats right - for absolutely no money at all you get to hear a Dafydd James play at Sherman Cymru. Come and have a drink and say hello to Daf and James Robinson (producer) and have a great night. See you there.

The latest initiative to come from the Sherman 5 project is a series
of Lights Down, Listen Sessions in collaboration with BBC Wales Radio
Drama. The second of these events will be held on 27 November, at the
Sherman Theatre at 6.30pm.

Come along to the Sherman to listen, with other audience members, to a
BBC Wales radio drama by Welsh and Wales-based writers.  After hearing
the play in the Sherman Studio there will be the opportunity to meet
someone involved with the production: sometimes it might be the
writer, on other occasions it may be an actor who performed in the
radio play or the director.

Terrace by Dafydd James is a darkly comic story of love, loss and prejudice.

When Stevie's boyfriend Matthew becomes seriously ill, the couple move
into a new house, complete with wheelchair access and a downstairs
toilet. However, Cardiff's multicultural Grangetown is far from the
peaceful idyll they were hoping for. The walls are thin and you can
hear everything, even whispered conversations if you put your ear to
the wall. As Matthew's condition worsens, Stevie is drawn into a
sinister story happening next door.

Before listening to the radio drama, there will be the chance to view
a selection of exclusive photographic images of Butetown, Riverside
and Grangetown by Cardiff photographers John Briggs and Jon Pountney.

After hearing the play in the Sherman Studio there will be the
opportunity to meet some of the people involved with creating this
production in a Question and Answer session.

In attendance will be James Robinson Producer BBC Radio Drama and
Dafydd James the writer of Terrace. We will be discussing contemporary
Cardiff in a conversation led by visual artist Rabab Ghazoul.

Places are FREE, but please call the Ticket Office on 029 2064 6900 or
book online to book your place.

Contains strong language and themes of an adult nature.

Huge Congrats to the Wales Drama Award Final Four: Jeremy Davies, Alyn Farrow, Alan Harris and Kelly Jones.  The overall standard of scripts was fantastic and it's been tough to get it down to these for but they are a worthy selection!  Here's more info.
