NATIONAL THEATRE WALES (NTW) & WALES MILLENNIUM CENTRE (WMC) ARE LOOKING TO APPOINT A PARTICIPATION DIRECTOR FOR CITY OF THE UNEXPECTED – A CITY WIDE CELEBRATION OF ROALD DAHL’S CENTENARY IN SEPTEMBER 2016

"For a while, I thought: Why are we diving into history while new parts are made, while the very ground we are standing on is shaking? But, some days later, I realized that (the film) "Titanic" gave us help in interpreting the new disaster," Director James Cameron.

These are images from the second phase of Doppelgangster's research and development for…

It's amazing what you can do with two actors, 1 stage manager and a bit of MDF...
