“The characters who make me laugh the most, make me cry the most.”
“Since the pandemic, artists have been struggling to get work and to be seen for auditions. I wanted to set up a creative space that was open to new and established creatives to explore and produce new and exciting work. The vision for the company is to give a voice to new writing and an opportunity for collaborative performances in both Welsh and English.” – Cellan Wyn
