The Llandovery Theatre Youth Actors, as they have become known,
are already very highly praised. After a recent stage performance of
The Taming of the Shrew, Richard Booth (Booth Bookshops) the
'king' of Hay on Wye, spoke to the audience - he described the actors
as 'the youngest Shakespare company in the country, and the most
exciting!'
