Just to say thank you to everyone for coming last night, I thought it was a really positive, useful and enjoyable evening.  Great to hear all your thoughts and suggestions.  Here's to more nights like that!

Thanks to Greg and Peter for the warm wishes.

To add to Greg's list of Wales in Edinburgh: Unknown Theatre, Cwmni Theatr 3D, Mercury Theatre (Unknown and Mercury are at Venue 13 too) ... and I know I must have missed some. It will be like Chapter's bar - but in Edinburgh.

I am doing a couple of Radio Wales spots from Edinburgh. Get in touch if I need to see your show. And, yes, I need to see your show.

I don't quite know how, but I forgot to include the biggest ever thanks to the National Dance Company of Wales, Roy Campbell-Moore has been amazing as have the entire staff. We literally would not be where we are without their guidance, commitment, kindness and generosity of time and resources.

 

Best wishes to Terry Victor and Notional Theatre and of course The National Theatre of Wales and the Sherman who are all taking new writing to the Fringe this year. Let's hope Wales makes the kind of impact we should have been making for years.

 

Let's go in a spirit of solidarity. X

Congratulations to Shock n Awe.  I’m looking forward to seeing the compressed Muscle being flexed in Edinburgh.

Now, to ramp up the excitement, let me tell you where Notional Theatre is at.

I’ve just got in from rehearsals for Fragments of Ash which is on at the Bute Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday (26^th & 27^th) at 9pm as part of the Cardiff Festival Fringe. Those two performances are sneak-previews for a 3 week run on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe: August 5^th to 27^th at Venue 13.

Fragments of Ash has evolved from the work-in-progress performance in Monmouth earlier this year: ‘...the excellence and the beauty of the piece is very strong.’ (Michael Kelligan, Theatre Wales). ‘...an absolutely brilliant new play’ (Chris Ryde, Savoy Theatre). Now the play is revealing itself in surprising detail.

If you are off to Edinburgh this year we hope to see you up there. If not we’d be proud to have you in the audience next week.

Fragments of Ash work was developed with a small project grant from the ACW. For Edinburgh, Notional Theatre has a co-production partnership with Murder on the Menu. And now, with guidance from Nick Davies, the ACW have awarded us £28,000, one of the biggest grants of the past few years. We are planning two tours – Autumn 2011 and Spring 2012 - in association with Hijinx Theatre.  

For the creative team, writer/director (me), composer/musical director Gareth Wyn Griffiths and choreographer Kylie Ann Smith, the funding is a huge vote of confidence. Our cast is truly remarkable: Jordan Bernarde, Clêr Stephens, Robert Harper, Lisa Zahra, Janine Cooper-Marshall and the voice over of BBC Wales’ Jamie Owen.

To get to this point many many people have held our hands in ways practical, financial and emotional: they are all named in the show’s (free) programme.

 Fragments of Ash is a political drama about mothers and war that blends physical and narrative theatre to a stunning original score. Do come and see it if you possibly can.

Excellent news Greg. 

I know the path you've been treading only too well and it is is great news.  I too hope to get to see the Edinburgh preview at Chapter.

Great news mate, hope I can make one of the showings. And I agree with you about Chapter.

Congratulations Greg, I look forward to seeing it in Edinburgh.
