Romeo and Juliet is now open; despite wasp stings, power chair breakdowns and cuts and bruises from the fight scenes - we are successfully open! I am incredibly proud of all the cast for their energy, enthusiasm, hard work, flexibility and damn good performances.....
Charlie and TJ are recording their mission to bring back the missing generation. TJ is a photographer and he wants to make a video diary for every day. This is their first day in Prestatyn and they are trying to find somewhere to camp ready to set up their…
The fine details of the text are worked through painstakingly. Linking the language of the play to detailed choreography. I watch the material develop and try to imagine it within the location. An impossible task as I have never been to the place. I did try, a drive by, from The Greystone's Motel near Trecastle, over the public road that bisects the military land, to Tirabad. The village was sat high up on a hill to the right, several miles from the road. It looked inviting, one of my… Continue

I join the throng of early morning commuters as they make their way between Shrewsbury and Cardiff. Somewhere between 6 and 9 in the morning are the best hours of the day. The light is different, sharp, grey, blue. The day is unsullied by the lethargy of the late riser. Newspapers sit straight upon the tables, anticipating creases.

return to Cardiff on had become skewered across the main road.
The scene seemed obscured with much thanks to the constant screams
of abuse… Continue

For their first production " BareKnuckle Theatre" chose the audience friendly " A Midsummer Night's Dream". Founded to " take the performance out if performing" they surfaced at the non-actor friendly Gate Theatre.

Well it's Friday....end of week 1...how did that happen?! What better way to end a first week of rehearsals of The Persians, than a cider and perry festival at Chapter?! All we need now is for the sun to come out!
As part of my 'Greek Epic 'Research' I watched '300' (based on Frank Miller's book) last night (besides admiring the many six packs) it was very visually pleasing and surprisingly entertaining.... ( I'm not usually one for films where lots of people kill each other in… Continue
