    Hiya Guy! Yeah, I thought The Boy, The Chick and The Egg was great and a lovely design that really allowed the children's imagination to run free with the production. Love puppet theatre and have always loved the way people interact with puppets, whether they are performers or audience. Will be great to meet you personally when you get to come down to the office and meet John for your designer discussion! I think there's definitely space in the rapid strand of the work to support this x

    Hi Guy

    This is Alison from Re-Live. Yes we would love some of your Young Critics to review the show. We're really interested in how young people feel about the tales of our elders! Thurs eve would be great, as Weds is pretty much sold out.

    Hi Guy, sorry for my delayed reply re.Undeb-Velopment - I hope I'm not too late to persuade you to come!

    The dates for the plays are roughly this: 2:30pm for BRUISED - Then ISLAND / KINGFISHER at about 6pm - The capacity in Milgi is roughly 60/70 people - but I can put you on the guest list if it'll guarantee your presence :)

    Hope this finds you well

    Hello Guy I read about your 'Young Critics Group' on this site (digital management group) and I wondered whether anyone from the group would be interested in critiquing Gwent Young People's Theatre production of 'The Odyssey'? Its on at Abergavenny Castle 28/29/30 July.

    It would be absolutely fantastic to have it reviewed by a young person who is passionate about theatre.

     If anyone was interested you could contact Julia Davies at Gwent Theatre on 01873 853167 or contact me on the NTW site.

    With thanks

    Hello Guy, sorry its taken me so long to get back to you...I have just been through a similar process of making an application and it's taken me months!.

    I hope all is well with you. Our youth theatre are busy working on a new production called 'Butterfly Kiss' which will be touring in February and some of them were recently  involved with theatre versus oppression's 'What Happened Next' project which gave 4 young writers opportunities to develop their own plays. It ran over 4 weeks with the audience making suggestions of how they would like to see the work developed. They are hoping to present their plays sometime in January. If you think any of your young critics might be interested in reviewing either I will send more details.

    I have just returned from a Children's Theatre Festival in Romania which offered quite a variety of work for the very young.

    It would be good to meet up if you have time. Hope all is well with you.

    Guy,
    Would love some further information on the young critics! Whilst not something I've ever done properly, it certainly interests me.
    And any help you can give me as to set design etc would be really helpful!
    Thanks,

    Hi Guy, 

    I've got a new show opening at the WMC next week with liveartshow (part opera, part play) and we have an opportunity for an assistant designer. Just wondered if you have come across anyone recently you would like to give an opportunity to and fits the bill (bright, enthusiastic, available the end of this week and next and would look forward to working with designer Will Holt, SM Kevin Smith and director Martin Constantine). We can only pay expenses (£50). Might suit someone young who wants to build up their CV? If you can think of anyone who fits the bill can you let me know.
    Many thanks!
    Best, Alan
