2. Birkenstock at Gwdihw in Cardiff on Sunday 7 October 2012. My awesome man Meirion is playing too.

3. Mozarts @ Do Not Go Gentle. I shall be doing a few poems in support of Rhian Edwards at Mozarts between 6 and 7pm on Sat 3rd November. Come along.

THE STAGE REVIEW | CINDERELLA @THE RIVERFRONT

Cinderella Published  Monday 5 December 2011  at  12:39  by  Susie Wild Even in the year of a Royal Wedding, not every modern girl wants to grow up to be a princess.
