It’s that Showcase time of year again...
Every year graduating acting students put on a showcase
for agents and casting directors in the Bute Theatre, Cardiff and
the Royal Court, London. They have one week to prepare a monologue
or duologue - then two minutes and five seconds to show us what
they’ve got.

with Jamie Garven, Lecturer in Acting.

“When I'm convinced by an actor at audition,
