National Theatre Wales Accused Of Not Being National, Theatrical, Or Welsh Enough

A group of 40 Welsh writers and theatre artists has written an open letter to the company’s chairman, arguing that NTW is not producing enough work — only two productions are currently scheduled through the end of next year, one of which is a photo exhibition — and that what work is being presented is given to artists from outside Wales. “We want it to be a theatre. We want it to be Welsh,” write the signatories. “These are two things we thought we could take for granted.”
