The Tower Chapter Arts Centre 30 January 2015

EXCELLENT IN ANY LANGUAGE

dramatic art. Aled Pedrick’s revival of Gwenlyn Parry’s classic The

Tower is a masterpiece of dramatic and literary expression. Cunningly

wrought it visibly provoked the intended interest and emotional response

 from an audience that was captivated from beginning to end.



Catherine Ayers and Steffan Donnelly are mesmerising as the couple going

Teacher for R&D advisory group?

I've managed to identify most of the people I'd like to ask but I'd be keen to add a secondary/ high school teacher to the group, possibly a science teacher. Otherwise it could be someone who has particular expertise and…

Anamnesis Blog 3

I know this is severely late and now out of date - but it seemed a shame to let it go to waste. (I promise to make a resolution to become amore consistent blogger)

Promenade Theatre - a la mode or the theatre of the future?

Since graduating from University where we as all encompassing students where encouraged to look at theatre practices that broke conventions and went against the traditional notion of an end-on, fourth-walled performance, it has been highly appropriate that my first year in the professional world has been predominantly filled with promenade performances. This has struck me as very interesting because I have been working mainly at home in Cardiff, where although a lot of exciting and…

NO PLACE FOR TOM

The Wales Theatre Awards’ shortlist has been announced and there is no place for Tom – A Story of Tom Jones. Have those responsible for deciding the shortlist got it wrong?

All over Wales critics have had their say and our neighbours in England too have had an input. Let’s also not forget the audiences’ feedback which is arguably the most important. Are they all wrong and the caucus of critics that make the decisions right?

 

I KNOW WHAT I AND OTHERS THINK, WHAT DO YOU…
