Bara Bread

After first night nerves and allowing the play to 'bed in' something very special happened last night, audiences smiled all the way through and they went on the journey that is Bara Bread.

As I sat in the audience and the play finished I heard a voice saying 'Marvelous'.

Bara Bread The Making...

Bara Bread opens this wednesday at Chapter, very exciting, a new play about Wales by people from Wales. A little splash of welsh from my new theatre company Theatr Gwalia. (We previously brought to stage Utah Bride/Priodferch Utah) 

The stage of Bread Making is like the stages of our life.

We live in a packaged and faceless world and this is my primal outcry. Things have certainly fed into my subconscious and here now waits Bara Bread for the…

The Importance of working in welsh 'Priodferch Utah'

Its really important for me as a theatre maker and writer to work in welsh, but I'm only 2nd language...so I had my play adapted and translated.
