Pornography opens tonight.

So tonight is the opening night and we have been in Tech and prop madness for the past few days.

Pornography is a piece of theatre you will never see done the same way twice. Simon Stephens bravely writes...

A challenge that Waking…

Clytemnestra - Up and Running!

 

Well, it was 6 weeks ago that we embarked on rehearsals for Sherman Cymru's production of Clytemnestra, adapted by former National Poet of Wales, Gwyneth Lewis.

After our readthrough on the first day, which clocked in at a far-from-mammoth 45 minutes, I think a few of us maybe questioned whether we were going to need 5 and a half week…

The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning and Livestream chat with campaigners - Friday April 27th

This Friday, The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning will be performed at Connah's Quay High School. It will also be live-streamed across the globe.

"Welsh gold and African diamonds”…the arch of a rainbow

Cheesy? Perhaps. Poetic? Most definitely. True? I believe so.

My name is Beca Lewis Jones and I am the Project Officer for Mzansi Cymru. Let me explain; I never go anywhere without a notebook and pencil case (my notebook is known in the office as The Bible and my pencil case is overflowing), I write 50 emails a day and receive 10, I am addicted to meetings, I am never far from a kettle and the boot of my car is full of props for school workshops.  All this is in…

The Globalisation of NTW18

It's 2.20pm Saturday and I'm logged into the livecast for The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning.  The audio from the preshow is feeding through, while the onscreen message reminds me that the performance starts at 2.30.  The audio feed creates a real tension.  'This is all rather exciting' comments a guy called Rory in the livechat box.  I am incredibly nervous - as nervous as on press night for the show on…

Young Critics Review - The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning: Stunning Storytelling

Talk about different!



The experience starts as soon as you walk through the front doors of Cardiff High School; huddling in the stairwell before a girl with a walkie talkie directs you upstairs in small groups, to experience the journey to the auditorium – a well designed walk, where you are subjected to primarily unnerving sounds of war and army barracks, which contrasts dramatically with the adorned High School walls, proclaiming netball fixtures and displaying the colourful works… Continue

NTW TEAM on the Streets for NTW18 - My Personal Experience

Last week myself and other members of the Cardiff NTW TEAM went out on the streets of central Cardiff to ask people: "What would make you protest?"

Some people walked past us and ignored us, others took a flyer and a badge but didn't want to stop and talk and some people really wanted to tell us what would make them protest and hear about the show and National Theatre Wales.

Whilst out and about there were a few things that became apparent to me.…
