Swansea based Actors

Two writers seek Swansea based Actors for a script read through of some new writing.

Last seen 61 years ago this play about the scandalous side of an award winning novelist's life is now completely sold out. The possibility of transferring is a hot topic and I will keep you posted if anything materialises. I am…

Willow Placement @ National Theatre Wales

I'm in the office at NTW and have never written a blog in my life so here goes, in fact I have never tweeted although I do occasionally glance at Facebook, if I have the time, if I want to share information and probably when I need somebody to do something for me or want to rally the troops for the Gwent Theatre campaign. When I do spend time on it I discover a whole world that has passed me by. I was…
