Newport Assembly

Tomorrow it's 2 weeks ago when I first walked into the "Dark Philiosophers"-Shop in Newport.

So I gathered all my courage and entered the shop and ran immediately into Gareth and Meg. Gareth explained the project and the shop to me,asked questions about me and after a while he and Meg said I should bring… Continue

CWRW, CHIPS A DARLITH DEG- Come see, come see, come see!Llanofer Hall TONIGHT!!!

Arad Goch's current production is on the last leg of its tour. Audience numbers have been fantastic and reviewers have been kind.

Although it is primarily a Welsh language production, the English language is intertwined throughout, therefore let this not be a barrier to those non Welsh speakers. (See below details for Welsh learner sessions before the show)…

New video of Volcano's 1977, by David Abra

We had a whale of a time doing 1977 in the disused shop space in Swansea. For a flavour of the show, see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dMkZiYxhcY . After all that space, it's going to be a different kind of fun shoe-horning it into the theatre at Chapter this Friday and Saturday! Should make for some seriously big drum sounds and an up-close and intimate show...

Come and see us on whichever night… Continue

TEAM Prestatyn

Scala Drama update - October highlight No. 1 - Bryn Terfel sends his best wishes to the Scala audience, live from New York. Dressed as Wotan, he is waiting in the wings and talks to the interviewer about his role, beamed by satellite to the world. But more importantly for us - to Prestatyn. The audience are proud of him, you can feel it in the reverential hush. We gaze up at him on the screen, admiring the magnificence of his breastplate - our Welsh god. And then, for a brief but cherished… Continue
