I know it's rather late in January to be talking about New Year's Resolutions but, as it does this time every year, my involvement in the Wales Theatre Awards has got me all inspired and motivated.
A couple of weeks ago, I was at the shortlisting for the awards. I am proud and still a little surprised to have been involved with the Wales Theatre Awards in some way, shape or form since the first ceremony in 2014 (I think). And, as always, sitting around a table with other reviewers listening to them talk about all the fantastic theatre that is out there in Wales, it has inspired me to see more. More of anything and everything. One of the things I love about reviewing is that I get to see things I wouldn't normally go to see.
We have some really great home grown theatre and performance in Wales and no matter how much I see there is always more, always something that I missed that sounds incredible. It would be impossible to see all of it but my resolution is to see as much as I can and as big a variety as I can, not just Welsh theatre but everything.
With my first Cardiff theatre visit of 2016 under my belt already and 3 more planned, the Wales Theatre Awards ceremony looming, and at least two trips to London in the offing, 2016 is shaping up to be a theatrical year for this onion.
