A new play

Written and Directed

JACQUELINE DAVIES
 
At Llanover Hall Arts Centre, Romilly Road, Canton Cardiff, CF5 1FH
 
When Jessica moves back home after a failed relationship, she feels her life is going into a downward spiral.  To make matters worse, she’s struggling to work on her second novel in an environment she finds stale and uninspiring.  Jessica knows she needs to take action and fast! 

Conversely, her mother Emma is content with her life and routine.  She has her pub and regular customers to look after and now she has her daughter back with her full-time.  Emma finds it difficult to say no to her daughter though, so when Jessica decides to run a series of events in the pub to bring in more customers and money, she can hardly refuse. 

Through the ensuing quiz, eighties, comedy and Karaoke nights it quickly becomes clear that it is not only Jessica who has a lot to learn... 

...And that change is not always a bad thing.

CAST

 
Selena Parmenter as EMMA

Selena's
acting career began with a degree in Drama, although she has had plenty of
experience since then. She has performed with Howardian Players and in all of
Amaline's productions to date.

Andrew Davies as BILL 

‘Whatever
Happened to the Ghost Sleuthers?’ marked Andrew’s first production with Amaline.

He is looking forward to taking part to his second production.

Renata Madeiros as KAREN

Renata is originally from Portugal but moved
to Cardiff with her family in 2006. She is a seabird ecologist, working at
Cardiff University. Acting was an old, unfulfilled aspiration and she found in
Amaline a very friendly company with people of great talent that really help
her to fully enjoy her acting experience. This is her third production with
Amaline. 

Chris Williams as PETER

Singing and dancing, swearing, getting into bed with female members
of cast; Chris has enjoyed indulging in behaviour different to his own while
portraying characters in his four previous Amaline performances (he
is looking forward to more in future plays!). 

Damian Howells as
 SION

Damian is a graduate in English and Popular Culture.  He joined Amaline in 2010 to take part in 'The Training of The Shrews'.   Since then Damian has co-written two plays for Amaline and is working on a third.  This will be his fourth acting role for Amaline.

 
 Nicole Smith as JESSICA

Nicole made her Amaline debut in 'Wedding Shots' playing a wedding party crasher. Since then she has played leading roles in 'The Training of the Shrews', 'Kill Cameron' and 'Bang on Trend'.  She also appeared in 'Whatever Happened to the Ghost Sleuthers'.  This will be Nicole's sixth production for Amaline.


Rebecca Hunt as LISA

The 'Edge of Glory’ marks Rebecca's fourth production with
Amaline.  Rebecca always enjoys
rehearsals and is particularly pleased that Amaline only produces original
works.

Sarah Phillips as HANNAH

Sarah has been
performing on stage since a young age. She was a member of the Isles of
Scilly Theatre Club where she was involved in many of
their productions until leaving the islands to further her education.

Sarah studied
A-level theatre studies and undertook a London Academy of Music and
Dramatic Arts award where she achieved a distinction. ‘Edge of Glory’ is Sarah’s third production with Amaline.


Chantelle Adele Archer as
SAM

Chantelle began her drama training
at Landau Fort College in Derby and did her HND in Stratford Upon Avon
College.  She has taken part in many
productions, but her favourite is ‘Oliver’. 
She took part in an Amaline production because performing is her
passion.  She is happy to have made some
amazing friends and has loved every minute.  'Edge of Glory' marks her second production for the company



Julie Fiera as STAND-UP COMIC
Julie has appeared in seven Amaline productions to date and very much enjoys working with new writers.
