Andrew Morse

This is a sad blog but a grateful one too.

Our kind, generous and inspiring weatherman Andrew Morse passed away last Friday.
Snow started off his early fascination for meteorology and I wonder if the glorious white winter we had only happened to see him out.
His passion for reading Wales capricious sky had spread to all of us and the Weather Factory team will miss him…

Weekend off from a good night out

Dear Blog,

Alright? How's it hanging? It's been a crazy couple of weeks rehearsing A good night out in the Valleys and I feel there's still more craziness to come. It's all good though, everyone is well up for it and working hard, which is definately a shock to my system. Blackwood is funky and just a short drive from where I live which makes a nice change. There is plenty of tea and coffee put on and enough time for proper fag breaks so I'm happy.

update from Julie

The end of another week on 'A Kind of Alaska' and its been an experimental week..with the emphasis on 'mental'..in an entirely positive way. Im the kind of director who comes to rehearsal with good intentions to follow a plan and then ends up pretty much changing it as the day goes along depending on the way the day develops...maybe one day ill go in with no plan at all and feel totally liberated... The rehearsals are still exploratory..im trying to find an emotional reservoire that the…

End of Week 2 on "A Good Night Out in the Valleys"

Hi All

We are now at the end of week 2 of rehearsals for "A Good Night..." and, so far, things are going according to plan (if there is a plan that is... John seems to know what he's doing!).

Before I tell you what we've been up to this week, I would like to point out that Huw was absolutely correct when he said that all the ladies (and quite a few of the men) on this production fancy the a**e off Boyd.... deal with it Rees!!! We're only human after all.

Today's warm up…

2nd Week - A Good Night Out In The Valleys

Dear Blog,


As part of the deal for working with the National Theatre Wales, we have been asked to blog about how things are going. So here we go. Yo! How you all doing? I'm doing fine, thanks for asking. With the first week over, and the second week well under way, all seems to be going well. The cast seems to be getting on well, no fights yet! John McGrath and Alan Harris - Top blokes. Having the writer in is a massive help - although all my lines seem to be cut back! Ok…

Hey everyone!



Kelly from Manchester here.



I'm just about to leave Cardiff after a wonderful weekend with Bute town artists.



In the sessions we got to know about the community of Bute town through creative exercises which had us speaking to the people on the streets of Cardiff, and also through conversations over lunch.

It is a personal belief of mine that the best way to get to know a group of people is over a meal so we HAD to give Pizza express a visit… Continue
