| Gary Thomas in DAWN - the magazine of the Drama Association of Wales | Unknown's young but disciplined cast convincingly brought the gritty city life of Cardiff to Milford Haven with particuarly strong performances from Andrew Machin, Melissa Moore and Lorun Roberts. An impressive debut at the Wales Final from The Unknown Theatre Company. I'm sure they will be returning in future years. |

| Special facts |
There are 25 scenes in the original show, but before this production started, and with the playwright's permission, we cut this back to 20. The initial reduced production was performed at an Unknown Theatre club night at Roath Church House on 28 April to members of the group. This performance ran for over 90 minutes, so it had to be cut further. After much soul searching, the show was cut back to 10 scenes. Many great favourites were lost. It felt like we'd spurned old friends. But success at the One-Act Festival: the shortened version won the Youth cup, but more importantly, received one of the 6 highest marks in Wales. This meant we were invited to perform at the Wales Final Festival of One-Act Plays in Milford Haven - an uncommon event for a youth theatre. |
