We’re looking forward to popping across to our neighbours at Sherman Cymru this week to catch their latest production, Before It Rains.

The play, a co-production between Sherman Cymru and Bristol Old Vic, is a story of parenthood, protection and provocation set on a Cardiff estate.

The writer of the play, Katherine Chandler, is a graduate of the College, and one of the play’s three stars is acting graduate and former Coronation Street star Craig Gazey.

Katherine studied Stage Management here, before moving into writing for theatre. She has written for theatre company Theatr na nOg (The Bankrupt Bride and We Need Bees), and has a studio attachment with the Royal National Theatre starting in January 2013.

Craig is best known for playing the role of Graeme Proctor in Coronation Street, but left the soap to return to theatre in 2011. He has since appeared in the play Third Floor at the Trafalgar Studios, and toured the UK in the comedy Funny Peculiar.

Here’s a taster of what you can expect from Before It Rains
