One Act Play Festival in the News!

The Hole in One Act Play Festival at the Dolman Theatre from 12 - 16 October continues to gain support, which will hopefully lead to big audiences this week.

Today an item about the many celebrities who have sent messages of support appeared in the local newspaper, The Argus.

Then, the morning post, which arrived as usual at 2pm, included a message of support from Simon Bird, one of the brightest rising young TV stars who is fast making a name for himself in series such as 'The Inbetweeners' and 'The King Is Dead'.

Simon joins such luminaries as writers Alan Ayckbourn, Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett and actors Sir Ian McKellan, Dame Judi Dench, Michael Sheen and Helena Bonham Carter, who have all written to wish Newport Playgoers good luck with the festival.
