Driving through the Brecon Beacons today and seeing loads of Reform posters in roadside fields, I couldn't help but think "Are you guys total idiots? Was Brexit not shitty enough for you, you decided to buy the next pile of crap the Brexit folk try to sell you?"

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Don't miss out on the run of Hot Chicks by Rebecca Jade Hammond at Grand Theatre this and next week. The Grand Ambition team are knocking it out the park again. This is funny, heartbreaking and powerful theatre with its finger right on the pulse. Top performances all round.

I’m talking about the closure of the National Theatre Wales, but. Money in, theatre out. That’s how it works

The thing with theatre is you can’t really expect it to become self-funding. You have to think it’s worth funding indefinitely; it’s not a startup, it’s not going to grow up some day and make money. Theatre doesn’t make money. It makes experiences, connections, memories, community, it makes artists.

Sprinkles presented by The Other Room at Jacobs Market was really funny and affecting tonight. Really worth a visit in the run up to Christmas. So often brilliant and stalwart, Elin Phillips steps up to give a properly defining performance in this terrific monologue by Katie Elin Salt.

Richard Hawley was at Tramshed last night. Bernard Butler played in support. Wonderful gig. I can also confirm Hawley has small thumbs and a wife from Port Talbot.

"And Wales is taking the brunt. Research commissioned by performing arts union Equity revealed this summer that overall arts funding in Wales had dropped by 30% since 2017, compared with a drop of 11% in England, 16% in Northern Ireland and a 2% boost in Scotland." Vanessa Thorpe - Observer

Reminds me of this: In 2022, then deputy PM Dominic Raab mocked Rayner as a “champagne socialist” for attending the opera during the rail strikes. Rayner quipped back: “The Marriage of Figaro is the story of a working-class woman who gets the better of a privileged but dim-witted villain.”

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Timothy West. He played Macbeth at Theatre Clwyd in the nineties and I had the best fun ever on that show even if it was - ahem - critically unacclaimed, shall we say. When I came to do my first show as writer/director - Nothing to Pay at BAC - a year or so
