I have decided to write an outline of the radio dramatization, as I did with the story "Mother's Blessing", and direct people to the group pages to view the full text of the play. The radio play is a stand alone version compared to the stage adaption, incorporating elements of "Take No Farewell " that told events from Arthur Gibbs's viewpoint about his friendship with William Dillwyn Llewelyn.

William Dillwyn Llewelyn, the eldest son of Sir John Dillwyn Llewelyn, was found…

Sometimes the first day is like banging your head against the wall - today was different. 

Today we started by painting our bodies with invisible paint, banging Oday's chest with clenched fists, breathing in and opening our arms to the world and shaking away the shit. 

We're getting to…

I have been asked if the outline for the story "Mother's Blessing" could be written here as some people have informed me they have had trouble accessing the Graig Du Theatre Players group page. The story will be available on the group pages; it is one of the intended adaptions for "The Rhondda Mysteries project." I would like to thank everyone who has shown…

Hello all.

I’ve been involved with NTW for the last five years in various ways, working for the company for the last four and a half and this experience has been, in everyway, life changing.

In 2010 I was a partner in a community enterprise called ‘Community Helps Itself’ we were based in Butetown, Cardiff. We worked around south Wales, working on various community arts projects.

I studied film and Television at university, after going back to…

Hi I’m Sophie McKeand and this will be my second year on TEAM Panel. I’m a poet from Wrecsam in North Wales and love love love being part of TEAM. I originally wanted to join Panel because I want to connect more with my community and bring more NTW events to this little part of Cymru; I also want to create great art and meet other likeminded people, and TEAM gives me the opportunity to do all of these things.

In 2015 I was lucky enough to make it to NTW Summercamp. It was a…

Hi All,



So to summarize, 2015 was a great year for me as I was able to get involved with NTW and work on a couple of their projects venturing into the realm of Stage management!



I'm excited to begin this year as a new Team Panel member! Meanwhile I'll also be finishing university this year which is exciting but also scary!

 

I'm mainly looking forward to meeting everyone else and sharing our ideas. The project ideas I have for me are quite raw and mainly…

In the words of the Dave Clark Five, "I'm... (doof doof) Glad All Over” that I've been invited back onto TEAM Panel for a second year.

The past 12 months have been great. I've been to many new places & met lots of new faces in my role on TEAM Panel & as an active TEAM Member.

Highlights, you ask?

Well, they include my first visit to Wrexham for TEAM Performance Party, meeting lots of very talented folk,…

So here we are 2016! A new start and a new adventure for me as I join The National Theatre Wales Team panel and what can I say, I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of it!
