Andy Howells previews Peculiar Productions presentation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
A new year has arrived with plenty of new theatre productions across South Wales to delight. For me, one of the genre’s most exciting aspects are grassroots productions featuring local actors. While some may argue the point of shelling out money to see big-name productions, I frequently get a buzz out of seeing familiar faces tread the boards. There have been several actors I’ve seen flourish and expand their repertoire in recent years.
The Cardiff-centric not-for-profit theatre company, Peculiar Productions, has a reputation of featuring a high-calibre of local talent and their previous presentations include A Tomb with a View, Arcadia and two Terry Pratchett stage adaptations, The Truth and Men at Arms.
