Last call for Jacob Marley - paid role at Chapter

A modern adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens

Flash mob for Egypt in Cardiff

Hi every one,

Century Theatre - The First Mobile Theatre is under threat of closure

The Century Theatre is thought to be the only solid structure, fully equipped, mobile theatre in the world. The dream of John Ridley, an engineer, was turned into reality in a Hinckley yard between 1948 and 1952 .

Converted from wartime military trailers and tractors, the theatre travelled in convoy of 32 vehicles to provide quality theatre around the country for 23 years.  The convoy would often travel at no more than 8 miles an hour.…

Who is at The Park and Dare

One of the really interesting things about a Residency in a building is working with the team who work in that building year round. They know the building, its eccentricities, it little foibles and they know how to get things done.   This was never more apparent than when we realised that the confetti plans that we had for the show would not work.   With in minutes the team here had suggested an impossible solution and by that evening’s performance it had been rigged, tested…
