A pleasure and a privilege to premiere two plays by Rhys - As a Man Grows Colder and The Modesty Men - at #swanseaartsweekend.
Some stills from last night's performance of my play 'As a Man Grows Colder' at Volcano Theatre @volcanotheatre.bsky.social The actors were superb and absolutely made the play come alive. I loved the physicality of it 🙂 #theatre

Two of my plays are going to be performed in Volcano Theatre @volcanotheatre.bsky.social in Swansea on Saturday.

All my plays so far are one-act absurdist comedies. But I will soon attempt to write a full-length play :-) #theatre

We are delighted that our programme of creative community activities at Volcano has been supported by a generous grant of £50,000 by the Postcode Community Trust.

That's a whole lot more creativity in Swansea made possible by #postcodelotterypeople. Diolch!
