Seems that today has been a bit of an up and down down for both Laura and myself.

Trench by Les Infants Terribles

For an award-winning show, I genuinely don't understand what the fuss is about. Trench is all style and little substance. 

The show takes the story…

Slightly behind on my writing up of reviews so I thought I would do some video's to catch up, before I go into overdrive with shows to see today.

So here's the video:

Just to clear up my mumblings, the actor playing Stuart Shorter is Fraser Ayres, and it is the character that has muscular dystrophy, not the actor.…

I'm new to the National Theatre Wales forum, and have no idea how this works, but in September I shall start rehearsals for a one act Sci-fi play, titled 'It's About Time'. I'm looking for an actress aged between 35 and 50, and an actor of the same age boundaries. The production will be shown on the weekend of the 18th of October and will take place at the Riverfront theatre. Rehearsals shall also take place in the Newport Area. If anyone is interested, send me a…

Today I've seen some pretty varied shows. Here's a bit about them...

My Favourite show of today (and…

The playARK Festival and talks 2013  is coming up in November and we've got some great opportunities.

- playARK play:DO Hack Week

The hack week is a five day programme that will focus on the idea of knowledge exchange and open experimentation. The participants will be asked to collaboratively work in small groups to creatively explore, develop and prototype a playful experience that responds to social challenges within Cardiff City. We want to hear from artists, technologists,…

My Welsh show of the day was Richard Burton Company's Tracy.

Written and created by the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama BA Acting student Sophie Morgan-Price, Tracy follows a middle-management Tesco employee's…

Twenty years ago this week I made my first trip to the Edinburgh fringe, to perform in Brecht's Fear & Misery of the Third Reich. This started a bit of a love affair with the city, which has seen me be at the festival about fifteen times since, as a punter, programmer, venue manager, director, reviewer and performer. This year I'm not going to be there so I thought I'd share some of the shows I'm not going to see in case you're there and want to watch for me...

So here's…

Well, I had one of those moments last night when it was taking me 7 seconds to load a web page. I was getting incredibly frustrated, which resulted in me either swearing at, or trying to reconfigure all the various bits of tech that surrounded me at the Livestream control point of The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, which is showing at the Edinburgh Fringe (and online) until 25th August. …

Before heading up to Edinburgh, Sue's been busy creating this music video for everyone to enjoy.

In her own words, "Julia Roberts deserves a wider audience".

Let us know what you think?

Thanks for watching!

Today I went along to Assembly Roxy to watch Robert Golding, a play…

National Theatre Wales and travelling puppet company Heather & Ivan Morison’s Mr Clevver Puppet Company are preparing to take the hit puppet show Nuclear Family on tour across rural Wales this summer. 

Inspired by a character from the 1980, cult, post-apocalyptic novel Riddley Walker by American…

Likely Story are developing our new project through Wales Lab - it's very exciting and we'll be blogging more about it, there might even be some videos and photos...  We've been busy sorting it all out and in the process of doing that I stumbled across something that I wrote the evening after we had our first Wales Lab meeting.  It's been lurking in the depths of my laptop and I thought I'd like to share it.  I've been having lots of conversations with people about artist support, what shape…

Thea and I have been working on our WalesLab project Sh!t: I'm single in the National Theatre Wales warehouse this week with Natalie Paisey and Tom Mumford. Here is a video blog telling you a little more about what we have been up to so far. Enjoy....

... or who was I in June 2013

Performance is the catalyst through which I explore my visual practice. I seek to generate personal responses and performative documents inscribed by new synaesthesia's of…

Let me paint you a picture of Mr Clevver's rehearsal spot...

That's the truck over there in the corner!…

Bonjour, 

Here are some photos that I (safely) took whilst driving around Wales looking for venues and locations for the Mr Clevver Puppet Company to visit on their tour. Cymru fach esta muy bella! (My Spanish is not so great...).…

Hello!

My name is Elan and I am currently on a work placement at National Theatre Wales from Wales Millennium Centre (that's a mouthful...) and this is my first blog post on this thing. So... *deep breath*...

I've been on placement here now for about 3 weeks and I have a week and a half left and the whole experience has…

Hello all,

Katherine Jewkes has been working hard on the live-stream of The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, which is going extremely well - opening night last night, and over 200 people watched online.

Now we can announce that the Huffington Post will be hosting the livestream on our press night - tomorrow night at 7.30pm GMT:…

The Unknown Theatre Company; Cardiff’s award winning, dynamic, innovative theatre company (established 1997, with a proven track record of excellence and opportunities)  for young people 13 -25 are holding auditions to join the company for their autumn production of The Snow Queen. 

Fresh from the premiere of The True True Story of Quincy Jones at Lefel 1, St David’s Hall, which was part of the Welsh Proms, the company are now making plans for the coming…

Just as we come to the end of WalesLab's second year...I thought this would be a good time to let you know about some of the changes we've been making. (And, how you can get involved!)

The biggest change so far is that we have decided to move away from issuing 'call for submissions'. As an artist applying for these things in the past, I’ve always struggled with this process. I've found it to be much more helpful…
