We would like to extend a huge thank you to all the staff and volunteers at the Dylan Thomas Theatre for a wonderful evening on the 2nd December. To perform Reminiscences of Childhood in the theatre named after the man himself was a great honour. I hope the members enjoyed it...

We have had a great week, doing our Dylan Thomas Workshops in Primary and Secondary schools in Swansea. Many thanks to all involved and the CCS for their support.

Next week sees our adaptation of A Christmas Carol in schools and on stage in Wales and beyond - all this sandwiched around a performance of 'Reminiscences of Childhood' on Monday evening in the Dylan Thomas…

We start rehearsals for our Christmas offering next week. Can't wait to start working with Danny Grehan and Robert Pugh again.

Beer, Dylan Thomas, The Queen's Hotel - the show I have been working toward all my life...Tankers, as it is affectionately known, has proved to be very successful; loads of nice comments, but most importantly - we wanted more. As one lady said: 'beer, Dylan and a fire', I wish this could go on all night...

We had our last encounter on the streets of Ystradgynlais yesterday. It was great; one participant said: 'until, today, Ystradgynlais, was a name on a map pretty much, I'll never forget it now'. Felt a bit humble after that. Shwmae, Joe Bach!

There were tears in my eyes we reached the end of Joe Bach in the Museum yesterday; and I'm not ashamed to say it.It has been a pleasure and a privilege being able to delve albeit briefly into this amazing man's life. many thanks to Foundation and the Arts Council for allowing us to do it. Great - I can't wait fro the final performance in Ystrad on October…

Lighthouse Theatre are looking for an actor (playing age 45-65) to play a grizzled old reporter and a variety of other characters in a promenade performance of a new piece about the Marina in Swansea. Ideally Swansea-based, the commitment would be for three days from October 14th-16th and is pro rata ITC Equity rates. Auditions to be held in Swansea late September. If you are interested please send your CV and photograph to adrianmetcalfe@am-ct.com. Thanks for your time. Adrian.

It certainly wasn't 'a cold white day on High Street' today, but the 'try-out' of Return Journey worked very well - I hope that the attendees were as pleased with the show as we were.

We have had four days in Ystradgynlais working on the Josef Herman project with the foundation. It has been a great week with some fantastic students. Even the locals in the street have said 'Shwmai Joe Bach' to me...

So, after one of the most amazing experiences of my professional life, a cancelled flight, a night in Bariloche and a 36 hour return journey, we have returned to Mumbles. The sounds of the Wrasaw Concerto ringing out from the Castle were surreal indeed...Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r Wladfa. Taith Arbennig.

Today in Argentina it is Workers' Day. Rather like Labour Day in the States, it is a day when no-one works. Hasta La Vittoria Siempre...We were working last night however; on a Shakespeare Workshop with the Suburban Players - the BA Amateur Dramatics English Language group. Some exceptionally talented actors working in there second langauge; including a man who's girlfreind is in the University of Glamorgan in Ponty...

Monday morning and the sun is shining on Buenos Aires. We left Chile yesterday after an amazing five days. Santiago is a booming and growing city and we were treated to a fabulous visit by the British Commonwealth Society. We gave a Shakespeare workshop at The Grange School which was fanatsically creative, and met the Drama teacher there - Annette Owen from Glanamman..The highlights were going to the fire stations of the 14th and 1st districts of Santiago to see the bells that had been…

The Shakespeare workshop was a great success - 'I know a bank' in a Uruguayan accent really is magical...

We have sold out in Montevideo and things have gone better than expected. It appears that slapstick fun is appreciated all over the world! Even better though-the schools' workshops.

Many thanks to everyone who supported us at The Grand, The Melville and Aber Arts Centre. It's great to hear people laughing so much. Not often you get to say - a sell-out tour!

Off to South America - terrifying but exciting at the same time...

If the audience laugh half as much as we did on day one of rehearsals, then I think we'll be ok...

The new Celtic story-telling show now has a name...does what it says on the tin. Can't wait to start.

Just tried on the wigs for She Stoops to Conquer - wonderful. I was born in the wrong era...
