Isla – Theatr Clwyd

If you’ve ever said thank you to the self-service checkout or lost your rag with the sat-nav then it’s likely you’ll recognise some of yourself in the protagonist of a new play by Tim Price.

Missing Julie – Theatr Clwyd

There’s a real sense of urgency at the end of Missing Julie, Theatr Clwyd’s adaptation of Strindberg’s classic play. This is because it is not just the fate of its characters that is on the line but our own too. The setting for Kaite O’Reilly’s version may be a Welsh stately home at the endContinue reading “Missing Julie – Theatr Clwyd”

Beneath the strange veneer of a storyline in which a man putsContinue reading “For the Grace of You Go I – Theatr Clwyd”

Our Theatr Clwyd

Since March, theatres and community arts venues throughout the UK have faced an unprecedented challenge. Forced to close and cancel their shows for the foreseeable, many have lost all and any source of income. Government grants and interventions have helped to stem the negative flow of finances in the short term. But the longer restrictionsContinue reading “Our Theatr Clwyd”
