In a previous blog post we gave a summary of the quite frankly huge list of productions that had planned for 2010.

Some of the events have now been successfully completed, but this week sees the National Youth Theatre of Wales (NYTW) begin their touring production of new play, Diwrnod Heb Ei Debyg / No Other Day Like Today.

No Other Day Like Today is the result of months of research and writing by a group of young writers, supported by award-winning playwright Manon Eames, who contributed their voices, ideas, hopes and dreams to produce a challenging script.

During the early stages of writing, Manon and NYTW Artistic Director Tim Baker encouraged the young writers to look at the structure of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood.

This new play is set in the imaginary town of Llanhynallallacarall and follows the colourful characters of the town during an eventful 24 hour period, as seen through the eyes of young people. It combines story-telling and dialogue with music, movement, and audio-visual effects.
