So, I’m here in Edinburgh performing shows as part of The Street Events program. I’ve been coming to Edinburgh as a street performer now since 1988 and it’s been a blast getting out at last after the pandemic and seeing many dear old friends from the world of street theatre.
All this has made me a bit late in announcing some very exciting news. Last week we received the green light for our first project as a company. First off I’m really chuffed to be working on this project with local-based physical theatre director Jane Sutcliffe who has done amazing work with her company Metaphysique.
So with the support of Arts Wales and Theatr Clwyd (as part of their Tyfu program), we will be rehearsing with two actors for two weeks to research and develop the script for an outside touring theatre show. The script is provisionally called Deborah’s Well and is based on a local North Wales legend and ghost story of the same name.

Hopefully, this is phase one of a bigger project to tour the show in public outside spaces in North Wales in 2023. We are very grateful for the support of our partners, especially Arts Wales and Theatr Clwyd. Without their support, we would never be able to realize this project.
In other news, we are about to be making some exciting appointments to our board of directors. Watch this space for more news.
