We produced a screen play, and began training workshops, and
casting sessions. After a year of workshops, we were filming, and
everything going well, when in September 2003, Simon
(co-director) was struck with cancer.
Wonderful support came from everywhere, and following an
operation, Simon was back at the Theatre by April 2004. It
was with renewed energy and affection for our wonderful
young company that we restarted filming, and by April 05, had
completed the filming, and work on editing was in full swing.
December, 2006.
The editing and final cut of the film is ongoing. There
is much work ahead. With Simon's death in October, the loss
of our co-director is devastating, but the film is all 'in the can;'
now we have to put it together, and show it - to honour him.
The film will be premiered at Llandovery Theatre, and then
issued as a DVD. We welcome interest and enquiries.
