Their musical Dance of the Dragon written by Philip Michell and Matthew Brind was chosen as one of the 9 finalists from a total of 186 from all over the world. It is the only Welsh entry. It will be performed as part of the festival by a professional company at the Sherman as part of a showcase. -------------------------------------------------- News item 2. We went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with Gold Woman and had 4 star reviews. Written by Lesley Ross and Matthew Brind the musical tells the story of a nine year old girl and her escape from the problems in the real world into Gold World where Gold Woman helps make everything right. For those that didn't get to see this amazing new show in Edinburgh it is to be performed in Cardiff on 18th/19th October at Howardian Centre. Tickets are on sale now (029 20 473202 5.50). ------------------------------------------------- In July the Unknown Theatre Company a youth theatre company were invited by Mr Okamura, the Mayor of Kawaguchi, Japan to underake an exchange project with Kawaguchi Musical Group. The project was undertaken over a period of 12 days with a show called Quest Gate performed. Our young people sang in Japanese and the Japanese young people sang in English. Performance was at Lilia Hall a 2000+ seater performance venue of the highest standard. It was part of the 12th World Festival Fusion and was highly successful both in terms of performance and the links that are in place for future exchanges. Next summer we hope to invite the young people back to undertake a further project. Does anybody want to sponsor us in any way???? |
