The Other Room is organising a tour of Wales which will aim to expand the theatre\u2019s popularity around Wales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pub theatre from Cardiff, based in Porter\u2019s, will be taking its new Violence Series to four different locations in Wales and a three-day visit to London where it will begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Jones, 28, artistic director at The Other Room said that despite being a Welsh theatre based in Cardiff they seemed to have a better profile in the capital city of the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, their win at The Stage Awards<\/a> 2016 for Fringe theatre of the year made them very popular among Londoners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c`Every year, we usually have seasons following a unifying theme and we have plays all around a particular topic.\u201d He said, \u201cI started to think of them as a sort of live anthology seasons and it was years ago when I started conceptualising the Violence Series.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s series consists of three plays, American Nightmare, The Story <\/em>andHela, <\/em>which explore different instances of violence and conflict, one of which, Hela, <\/em>is a bilingual play where the main actors speak only in Welsh and the English language is integrated into the story through different mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am really proud of doing Hela<\/em>in Welsh in London as well. We have tried to build in a device into the play that translates in real time through piece of the technology that becomes kind of a third character,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Other Room shows its pride in being a Welsh independent theatre and supporting the Welsh community <\/a>and language, but not only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan concluded, \u201cthere has been a lot of talk about making sure that theatre companies from Wales are using Welsh actors, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s about being Welsh, it\u2019s about being here and being invested in the community. We have a policy for our artists which is Welsh, Wales-based or Wales-trained.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
