Supporting Theatre In Swansea - A Message From Dave Fellows

I'm currently setting up a new Theatrical Production Company in Swansea, called Tent Of Xerxes. Our first project is a season of Three Anti war plays to be staged at The Grand Theatre's Arts Wing - The plays, all by American Playwrights, explore the physical and Psychological Traumas caused by war - They are The Body Of An American by Dan O'Brien - Grounded by George Brent - Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun adapted for the stage by Bradley Rand Smith.

We are funding these productions by using Crowdfunding - we have a target of £2000 - I am approaching companies to make donations, but through Facebook, and other social media sites, I'm asking individuals to "Pledge a pound" that's a British £1 - which translates into $1. 54 American money. I'm using the Crowdfunding site "Wefund" - so if anyone here would like to donate £1 or its equivalent, I'd be very Grateful. The money raised from the three productions, would be re-invested into future productions, and the setting up of an Actors-writers workshop - It would be a place where writers could interact with actors, in a workshop situation, to create new works for the stage - Tent Of Xerxes would help develop the plays, to be produced in front of an audience, or as an audio podcast that people, worldwide, could listen to online.


Please Make a donation of just £1 (or its equivalent) at  http://wefund.com/project/ help-set-up-a-theatrical- production-company-in-swansea- to-stage-a-season-of-three- anti-war-plays/p66131/
