"Conrad is a man with strange habits; a loner, living by his own unconventional beliefs. When a murder is committed, it isn't long before the police come knocking."

Written by Vincent Cassar & performed by Ben Tinniswood, this dark, one-man play has enthralled & unsettled audiences across the UK.

"Tinniswood's performance is remarkable; amusing, exposed & mesmerizing. A rare treat" (LoveFringe)

“Ben Tinniswood does a fantastic job in his portrayal of Vincent Cassar’s work. He strikes just the right balance between comedy & serious social comment” (Somerset Standard)" "

THE VISITORS
Bread and Noses
Road Block CF24 3EN 
Sat 18th Oct, 11am - 12pm
Roath Park Pavillion
Sun 19th Oct, 2pm - 3pm

Join us as we explore Roath's streets & parks!Open hearted, naive and in empathy with the world around them, they respond to all they encounter out of the truth of the moment - a whimsical edge between imagination and reality. Ridiculous? This is the gift of the clown.

The Visitors is an improvised promenade performance that captures the true qualities of the clown. The clown is a part of ourselves living every second of life with a sense of wonder and curiosity with people and the surrounding world. The innocent truth teller who accepts failure as an opportunity to try something different next time with no worry about measuring up to other people’s expectations of success or achievement.

Barbara holds a special place in Rachel's heart. Given to her by Artist Gail Howard during fellow Artist Rebecca Wyn Kelly's 'Project Object Exchange', Babs originally came from Schull, County Cork; 15 miles from Rachel's hometown of Skibbereen.

Finding Barbara debuted at ArtCarbootique at Chapter Arts Centre earlier this year, with nearly 40 people successfully tracking her down.

Screening - Cynic- the Complete First Series
Cynic
Roath Park Pub CF24 3JE
Tue 21st Oct, 7pm - 8pm

Cynic is a mini sitcom documenting the life of Ted Shiress - a foul-mouthed cynic who happens to have Cerebral Palsy. However after watching the show you will quickly become aware that his only disability is a bad attitude. Screening will be accompanied by live discussion with the cast and crew!


Some people have it all are happy, some people have none and are happy and some people have a fair bit – relatively severe Cerebral Palsy yet an extremely outgoing lifestyle – but are complete cynics. The mini-series Cynic follows Cardiff comedian/cynic Ted Shiress and his can-do lifestyle coupled with his can’t-do attitude. Whether Ted’s having a few pints, getting help from his lovely domestic assistant or trying to get his leg over he always finds something to moan about with his embittered sense of superiority. 

Join Ted in this screening of all the episodes of Cynic as he proves that a bad attitude is his only disability."
