Our first show at the CAI went off with a bang. It was the first time we've re-staged a group of plays so it was a strange experience watching our Welsh cast tackle the plays. Erin, Matthew and Helen did a cracking job although Erin seemed to adopt a 'shuffle and see' technique to keeping her script in order. Matthew, ever the gentleman was poised at every moment to hand her his readily sequenced page. We always have a debate in DP about what the best venue is for our own particular style of presentation. So far we've done a yurt, two nightclubs, a bar, a kebab shop, three theatres and a forest. All of which have been fun in their own right but none of which have been definitive for us. The good things about CAI was that we got to have a stage, which offered much more opportunity for direction, and there was more space for our audience. It wasn't so stuffy like a regular theatre, but it wasn't the intimate 'may I have my knee back' vibe of the yurt. A thumbs up from us but the hunt goes on for that magical venue that ticks all our boxes. Strong set of plays this time - still think Colette Kane's was my favourite though, marvellously performed by all 3.
Looks like we're going back to the Roundhouse in April - but this time in the Hub...watch this space...T
