The Countdown....

Next month we will be taking our theatre company out of the rather cosy confines of Milgi's Mongolian Yurt and heading into a grown up theatre.

We started this company less than a year ago as we couldn't find any great new/experimental writing in Wales that would appeal to our age group and blooming heck has it grown quickly. I think we thought the first performance was a bit of a coup - it was sold out, we turned people away, we had an award winning writer (Ed Thomas) premiere his first work for four years, another writer Kit Lambert got his play commissioned for a short film and our first time writer got a job out of it. But it's just got bigger and better since then....

Now we're heading out of our cwtchy confines of the Yurt and are going to be putting bums on proper seats at the Sherman Theatre in April. Not that we are getting all stuffy mind - there will be plenty of surprises. And then it is off to Latitude Festival with us to party and put on three plays in the woods.

It's a learning curve for all of us - a writer, a journo and a director - and we are collecting a merry band of experts and friends along the way. So as we learn we'll be blogging as we go. Hope it is interesting and fun.....
