Who are Castaway

Castaway was formed in 1991 by Ian Marsh, a graduate of Aberystwyth University's Drama department, and since 1997 has been run by David Blumfield, tutor in drama at the University. Over the years we have staged over 40 productions, from light entertainment for all the family such as Wind in the Willows and our own adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Lords and Ladies; to intensely difficult plays like Sarah Kane's Crave and Phaedra's Love and Genet's The Balcony.

In addition, we have been lucky enough to have works written for us by established playwrights such as Lucy Gough and Dic Edwards.

What's on this Website

Here you can:

• See a list of all of our past productions, each of which has its own page with cast lists, notes and photographs. Note that a lot of this stuff is incomplete - but we're working on it! If you have any information for us, we'd be glad to get it!
• See a huge list of all the people who have ever been in Castaway, and what they've been in. Everyone has their own page, and if any of the information is wrong - or you want to add a biographical note to your own page - just get in touch.

Joining Castaway

Castaway is run as an Arts Centre course, and can be booked through the Arts Centre at the start of each season. We run three shows a year:

• The spring show rehearses from January to March
• The summer show rehearses from June to August
• The spring show rehearses from October to December

We're not currently accepting new members, but we will be soon! Keep an eye open for the dates of classes in the Arts Centre documentation.

If you have any queries, don't hesitate to contact us via the "mail the managers" button at the top of the sidebar on the left hand side.
