It was very fast-paced! The Beyond The Borders storytellers appeared to have a lot of fun with it. If I ever do it again, I'll opt to do something creative methinks.

Also I've only just noticed that Beyond The Borders and Dinefwr festivals fall on the same weekend #sillyliteraryclash

MS: Naked Librarians & Laugharne Literati (Part 1)

A pile of books in the courtyard of Shelf Life This is a blog of two parts… Part One I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a most wonderful weekend. A lovely weekend. A Laugharne Weekend, and many laughs were to be had at Laugharne. Yet the fun began early, as my weekends frequently seem to these days, kicking off with the press night for  Shelf Life  at The Old Library in Swansea on Thursday, the second of twelve new productions being put on across Wales this year by the so-far-so-damn-good  National Theatre of Wales .

Michael Sheen became a Messiah of his home town over the Easter weekend with his leading role in a 72-hour epic retelling of The Passion, yet is was Port Talbot that was the real star of the show. For the sheer numbers in the audience (6000+), and national and international press attention  The Passion  is an ambitious event sure to go down in folklore. Two years in the planning and several months in community build up,  National Theatre Wales  joined forces with Cornwall’s  WildWorks  to create a multi-platform delivery of an age-old tale co-directed by local-boy-done-good  Michael Sheen  and the innovative  Bill Mitchell . In this version of The Passion, poet and author  Owen S
