I haven't seen you in a while... how are things?

Wel helo, siwd i chi te? I thought I’d just pop in to say hi. It’s been a while since we spoke last; I hope you haven’t felt too neglected. So... Hmmm… Sadler’s Wells seems such a distant place these days, strange eh? {and I only left the place just before Christmas}. Since then I’ve been back to London twice and each time it’s felt weird, particularly the last time when I realised I was on the wrong tube; I was on my way down to Oval which is nowhere near Paddington, force of habit {I still hate the tube mind you, somethings remain}. I’m going to be trundling my way back again soon to see two of Sadler’s Wells’ own productions in March: The Most Incredible Thing & Shoes, which I’m truly thrilled about. I’ll let you know how it goes.

So how’s Cardiff? It is lovely to be back and feels as if I’ve never been away; there’s so much to do and the desk is getting quite cluttered now {still nowhere near as messy as Simon's desk}. We had some pics taken this morning, here's one that looks reasonable {you really should see the rest} We are... Simon, Gareth, Louise & Rob.

A very quick update... Me and Simon are off to Caernarfon this Thursday in preparation for our Welsh Language project with Cardiff’s Dirty Protest. If you’re about on Friday night, come along to Galeri. It’s the first time the collective have performed in North Wales so I’m expecting a slightly different flavour to their usual fodder. A Dirty Protest evening is many things: comical, serious, raw, witty, sharp, insightful… you get the picture? If you can’t make Galeri, you can catch the same 6 short plays in the Weston on the 9th March. Dewch wir.

Yep, the spring season in the Weston is about to kick off. By the way, have you seen the new edition of Cardiff Life Magazine? Jamie Rees has written a wonderful article about the Weston and the spring programme {which we’re all very happy with – diolch yn fawr Jamie I’ll have to buy you a half}. Here’s a link to the brochure, we hope you like: Weston Spring 2011.

I think that’s enough for now. There’ll be lots more to tell over the coming weeks and a few exciting programme announcements to be made too {Oooo it's nice to be back}.

Diolch. Mwynhewch yr wythnos. Gareth.
