The Devil Inside Him. Review

I attended the NTW premiere of The Devil Inside Him at the New Theatre in Cardiff. The queues that overflowed onto the street, the buzzing, full house atmosphere, the sense of anticipation and support, mirroring my own state of mind. Advertising had been clever and intense, promising a look into a modern classic author’s first play, just recovered from dusty oblivion; John Osborne’s first ever staged play.…

Day 79 - Standing by the Lake - Nant Y Moch

It all ended at about 3am with Sam brandishing a replica revolver and me hiding under the table why he shouted something about god knows what. Up to that point we had been quite productive. At least in the planning process.


We managed to collect documentation of 3 more landscapes. And hour and a half of standing by a lake. Or in Sam's case half an hour of standing and half 15 minutes of bouncing up and down.


I remember the sound of the car…

Day 78 - Running Away - Up on the hill again, Aberystwyth

Despite being very late to bed I managed to extricate my-self from my nest and throw my body into an athletic encounter with constitution hill.


I passed a number of revelers from the night before who looked impressed by my commitment to traveling along the sea front quite quickly. Hundreds of women in pink covered the prom. Either in preparation for, or after, the race for life. Life boats bounced across the waves and for a moment I was fooled into thinking that…

Day 77 - Aberystwyth 10 Years on - Aberystwyth Arts Centre

Nine years of university.... hmmmm.... how did that happen? I will have spent 11 years at uni by the time this thing is over.

The Devil Inside Him reviewed by Deborah Thomas

If you had booked a seat at Cardiff's New Theatre on May 11th, you were lucky to get into it. I can't remember a heave ho like the one i encountered whilst trying to snake my way through the excited cheer of Thursday's reception. Already buzzed at the prospect of seeing NTW third and perhaps most talked about production i was nearly levitating by the time the curtain ascended. There is nothing more exhilarating than watching people grab and claw for the last hot ticket when your country's… Continue

Weird and possibly controversial mobile game of the moment - Blowtooth

There is a lot of experimentation in pervasive mobile gaming right now.



There's still a certain novelty and the long-term appeal of games that rely heavily on this is uncertain. Witness the mobile game Foursquare, which could just be viewed as a ploy to get people to gather valuable geodata for free.



If you're looking for something a little more edgy, have a look at Blowtooth:…

Iwan Rheon Interview

Press night at the New Theatre for The Devil Inside Him tonight, and I'm very excited. If you're going too, you might be interested in Iwan's reflections on playing Huw Prosser. I interviewed Iwan for Buzz a while back, and you can read the full version here (the one in print had to be cut back, sadly).

A week in Dublin

I've just returned from a week in Dublin, performing my A.E.Housman piece, "Take Desire Away", at The James Joyce Centre. I think I can legitimately claim an artistic success, if not a financial one! You can check out a great review on RTE 1's "The View", Ireland's premier TV Arts Review Programme (about 13 minutes in!):
