Welsh Gladiators

Welsh drama is having boom time. Four shows from four welsh writers from four generations at the same time.

Ed Thomas up in Merthyr, Gary Owen and Alun Saunders in Cardiff and amazingly me in my sixty first year still on tour with my latest play GLADIATOR. You've got to see the others but give us a break - touring is hard. I did my first thirty years ago and they've closed all those venues.…

Dear Larry

How the devil are you?

Quick e-mail. I'm currently working at Soho Theatre as Creative Producer, where Mr Marmion is AD, we were talking about 'Forever' and bemoaning the fact we'd lost our hard copies of it. We'd really like to reread it, might you be able to send it to me?
Hope all is good with you

You should give Mzansi Cymru it's own page on here...that way people can check on it's status/upcoming events etc and become a part of it. Might even generate new recruits for our amazing choir ;)
