As many of you know, over the past year, we have undergone a period of consultation with educators, artists, academics and young people to help establish an NTW approach to education.   This has been done as the next logical step for TEAM, but has also been in reaction to the changing world of education in Wales. 

Through our education programme, we want to connect with people throughout Wales, from all backgrounds, in ways that enable them to be creative. We are looking at education…

Our intention when starting out on this project was to create bilingual work reflecting a nation that has two official spoken languages; We also felt was the perfect medium for a play that talks about 'home'/'cartref'

We understood that this would present challenges in terms of accessibility for those non Welsh Speakers but the authenticity of the play necessitated it; Our main character is a first language Welsh Speaker, living in a Welsh Seaside town and the supporting…

Now that our time in the Chorus for Patrick Jones' brilliant production is ended, one or two of us (you know who you are) are undoubtedly missing the 'roar of the grease paint, the smell of the crowd'. Yes, I know that's a misquote. I'm just lapsing for a nostalgic moment there into my former role as a ditzy older lady in an oversized green jumper ..

In the theatre itself I remember I was struck by the power of clothing, and body language, facial…

National Theatre Wales are working with partners in England and Scotland to bring an exciting, UK wide theatre project for Summer 2016.  The Welsh part will be taking place in BANGOR, ABERYSTWYTH, SWANSEA and surrounding areas. The project will lead up to a one-off, large-scale event directed by an award winning team, marking a moment in national history. And it’s going to be EPIC! …

Forked Theatre were lucky enough to have Megan Doherty as our first guest interviewee on our 3rd ever podcast. Megan responded to a blog post discussing the idea of growing up and the pressures that are bestowed on us from our 30's to conform to particular ideals. I'm still learning...but it's well worth sticking with it because Megan is the best interviewee a woman could ask for! …

Canoe started their first week of rehearsals of Alan Harris’s play This Incredible Life last Monday and as we go deeper into the fantastical world of Nin Timmons, it’s good to look back at the journey we’ve made so…

Hi All,

This is part of a page called Forked Theatre that I've created with two others to share female experiences we all face at different junctures in our lives...it's an open space for women (and men) to talk about any issues specific to women and feminism more broadly...you can find us at …

Hi!



So larp stands for Live Action RolePlay.

I'm trying to spread the word about and recruit interested players for some Nordic larps, to be played in South Wales. These kind of larps are played in black boxes (or studio spaces) with very little props, no costume and a set-up/narrative that's much closer to reality than your regular…

Thursday matinee was always going to be special.  Patrick Jones wrote the play based on his work with the Cwm Taf Choir in Merthyr.  He had taken their stories, their concerns, their struggles with an uncomprehending world, and put them into Before I Leave.  Now the members of the choir were sitting in the Sherman foyer and the cast was in the audience. It couldn’t be anything other than moving and inspiring.  I noticed some things my character has tried to do on stage, such as getting help…
