9 years ago I watched a play by @theatrnanog called Arandora Star for my A-Level Drama studies. This Autumn schools from across South West Wales were also supposed to be coming to watch this play as part of our annual TiE project. Unfortunately due to the current circumstances...

our live production cannot go ahead. Although I'm absolutely gutted, as engaging with young people is the highlight of my job, I'm so pleased that we're still able to offer a version of the play to schools, albeit in a different medium than usual.

I feel so proud to be working for a company who welcome thousands of young people every year to participate in a creative learning project that is so valuable. For many of the pupils who see our work it's their first experience of visiting the theatre and seeing a live show.

Having felt this excitement myself as a child, it breaks my heart that the industry is in jeopardy...we cannot let this magic fade! #SaveTheArtsUK
