F.A.B Theatre In Association with the Torch Theatre presents
BLINK
Wednesday 30 April – Friday 2 May 7.30pm
Tickets: £11.50
An enthralling and fast paced drama of the close-knit lives of a small south Wales community, whose secrets start with the ‘rudey club’ and end up with “12 words that ruined a life” - and of one son’s return home to the Welsh valleys to face the lies and deceit that have torn his life apart. Love, guilt and family dynamics are given new twists in the shadow of shocking abuse but Rowlands is not afraid to throw humour into even the darkest psychological nooks and crannies!
The first production from new Cardiff theatre company F.A.B. is urgent, vital drama given a tender, vulnerable edge. The Guardian ****
… nothing short of perfection … and a fantastic soundtrack … representing some of the most dynamic work going on in South Wales at the moment. Metro

Can Jack help the Giant get home, and will he find the strength to become a hero?

Tickets: £12.50 (£10.50) Matinee £11.50 (£9.50)
A unique and enthralling classical ballet based on one of our most well loved fairytales.
Full of romance and delightfully colourful characters, this production has a contemporary touch, with magical music by Serge Prokofiev, choreography by Alexander Semenchukov and a company of dancers, all trained in the Russian classical style and including graduates from the Kirov, Bolshoi and Perm Academies.
…the entire company are to be congratulated for putting together such an enjoyable and entertaining production… it was Yuri Demakov’s grotesquely comic turn as the Stepmother which very nearly stole the show, along with Evgenia Enikeeva and Hannah Windows as two of the prettiest Ugly Sisters ever to have graced a stage Evening Post
