AS part of the Torch Theatre’s ‘One More Time’ campaign, where audience members are encouraged to visit the Theatre’s productions just one more time this year, local amateur actors from Artistic Licence will present Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads this October. For two nights this month, three local ladies will take to the stage performing a classic monologue each.

The timeless monologues, first shown on television in the 1980’s will be brought to life on the Torch Theatre stage on Thursday 17 October and Friday 18 October. Her Big Chance will be performed by Janine Lewis, Margaret Slater Harries will perform A Lady of Letters with Carol Mackintosh bringing you A Cream Cracker Under the Settee.

These monologues are portraits of three very different women – their folly, boredom, pain and joy – but all sharing Alan Bennett’s masterly observation of the human condition.

All proceeds from these performances will be given to the Torch Theatre and presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd.

Artistic Licence: Talking Heads will feature on the Torch Theatre stage on Thursday 17 October and Friday 18 October both at 7.30pm. Ticket price: £12. To book your tickets or for further information, contact the Box Office on 01646 695267 or visit torchtheatre.co.uk.

A NEW Welsh drama series, Cleddau, is set to captivate audiences with its thrilling combination of a murder mystery and an intense love story. The six-part series, with each episode running for 60 minutes, will premiere tonight, Sunday 13th October, at 9pm on S4C.

Set in Pembroke Dock, Cleddau brings together some of the finest talent in Welsh crime drama. The series is penned by renowned writer Catherine Tregenna, known for her work on The Bench, Law & Order UK, Lewis, and DCI Banks. The cast includes Elen Rhys (The Mallorca Files, Craith/Hidden), Richard Harrington (Y Gwyll/Hinterland), and Rhian Blythe (Y Golau/The Light in the Hall, Craith/Hidden).

The gripping storyline begins with the shocking murder of a nurse, which reopens old wounds in the tight-knit community of Pembroke Dock. As the investigation unfolds, it throws a historic conviction into doubt, raising the disturbing possibility of a copycat killer. At the heart of the drama is the reunion of two former lovers, now tasked with solving the case, as they navigate both the complexities of the crime and their shared past.

With twists and turns throughout, Cleddau promises viewers a heart-stopping finale, offering a forensic examination of a town, a killer, and the turbulent relationship of the central characters.

All episodes will be broadcast in Welsh with English subtitles available across all platforms. The first episode airs tonight on S4C, and will also be available on S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer. Don’t miss the premiere at 9pm!
