In 2001 I went to see a play at Chapter Arts Centre in Canton, Cardiff called ‘Franco’s Bastard’ and I’d be grateful if someone could remind me of the author’s name. This told the story of a Wales Free Army leader so deranged with visions of…

After a lively discussion of political theatre (what is it?  do we need it?) at this year's Arts Council Wales conference, around 40 people created a manifesto for political theatre in Wales in a rather intense 10 minutes.  The rule was that there could only be 6 items in the manifesto.  Anyone could add their own point, but once there were six points up on the wall, adding yours meant taking someone else's down.  If yours was taken down, you couldn't put it back - but someone else could.…

Hi there, sorry to bother you all.

I'm currently looking for actors (refer to my previous blog 'I need actors...' ) to be in my short titled  'Twenty Feet Below'.

It's being performed as part of the Forge @ the Chapter on the 1st of November at 7.30pm.

Thank you…
