The Bells of Shoreditch by Dirty Protest at The Sherman Theatre, Cardiff

Dirty Protest
By Tim Price
Paul has been suffering from anxiety attacks. He can’t stop himself throwing his property over bridges. He goes to work with no shoes. He’s a man falling apart. So he puts an advert in the newspaper for a bedmate. Someone to sleep, to help him through the night. We follow Paul on his journey through London, with the loneliest people he can find.
With the support of Sherman Cymru and the Arts Council of Wales, Dirty Protest have workshopped this full-length play. Seeking to fill the vacuum between rehearsed readings and full scale productions, they hope this development production will be the first of many.

TwitPanto Performance on Twitter brings the house down.
I wrote a brief piece about this to try and help promote the idea. But the phenomenon of twitter created a huge following for what’s turned out to be a fantastic achievement for Jon Bounds and the rest of the #twitpanto team with their fabulous panto performed in the wacky world of twitter.com
If you’re wondering what happened, what people said, and what all the fuss was about, then I recommend you take a look at a great website by Matthew Somerville where he’s done some fantastic scripting to hack through all the tweets and bring you the whole ‘performance‘.
What to see this week according to the Guardian Theatre Blog
It seems like such a simple idea really, this blog is all about actors and film and theatre etc. So, I thought that someone out there, eg. The Guardian, would be the best place to recommend folks took a look to see whats on where and who/what to see.
