Cardiff-centric theatre and production company specialising in the humorous, peculiar, and fantastic.
I’ve been slapped in the face by an angry engraver, menaced for cash by a litigious zombie, interrogated by a semi-supernatural police force, and irritated by an incessant turnip-fancier.
I think you’ll like this show.
Hello! I’m Loz, and I’ll be playing William de Worde in Peculiar Productions‘ stage performance of Terry Pratchett’s The Truth, taking place in Cardiff this August at the beautiful Gate Arts Centre. Continue reading “The Truth: Meet William de Worde”
I was really excited to take on the role of Gaspode for this production. As a huge Discworld fan it was really great to get my teeth into another iconic character. Having previously been cast as Maurice in ‘The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents’ it wasn’t a shock to try and portray a talking animal on stage. However, the differences from that production to this one are vast. Continue reading “The Truth: The Wonder Dog!”

Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Joe – the Production Manager for The Truth.
What does a Production Manager do?
The Production Manager is responsible for the backstage and technical aspects of the show; it’s their responsibility to bring the non-acting parts of the Director’s vision to life.

Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Sam, and I’m the Sound Designer for our upcoming play The Truth.
I’ve been working for years with live bands and in corporate events, and having moved recently into working in theatre sound I am looking at getting as much experience as I can doing my own sound design for the play.
When I got the confirmation that my pitch to direct The Truth for Peculiar Productions had been successful, my first thought was “I cannot wait!”. My second thought? “Oh Gods, what have I done!”
Thankfully, that second thought–although it crops up from time to time–has largely been quashed.
My experience so far with Peculiar Productions has run the gauntlet from exhilarating to exciting and every possible emotion in between. I’ve been involved in theatre for around 15 years now but this is the first big show I’ve solo-directed since school, and staging a Pratchett directly following on from Amy Davies’ Monstrous Productions left my team and I with some pretty big shoes to fill!

A big thanks to everyone who joined us on Saturday night for our first fundraising event — a Peculiar Quiz! We collectively raised over £240 for the upcoming production, which is a fantastic start (and will buy us a LOT of Wizzard hats)… Continue reading “An update on our first fundraiser – and more!”
