'Everyman continues to produce classic plays to the highest standards. This year we have presented plays as diverse as The Crucible, The Hypochondriak and Loot. In addition we support new writing and have a thriving weekly clubnight for our members as well as a highly successful Youth Theatre which this year performed Gargantua, as part of the National Theatre Connections project. We look forward to our next production, Good by CP Taylor this autumn. Next year, Everyman Theatre Cardiff celebrates its 70 Birthday and as a result we will be presenting a season of banned theatre including: Arthur Miller's A view from the Bridge, Ghosts by Ibsen and Spring Awakening by Josef Wedekind.'
