Grand Ambition

WELCOME FROM GRAND AMBITION 

Since we founded Grand Ambition with the support of Swansea Council three years ago, we've been committed to creating world-class theatre for all of Swansea's communities, not just those with a history of theatre-going; nurturing and retaining homegrown creative talent to tell the stories that matter to our city. It is important to us to tell the stories of marginalised people, representing voices less frequently heard on our stages. To be able to join forces with Sherman Theatre to tell a powerful story, with Rebecca Jade Hammond's razor-sharp script is such a brilliant opportunity.

For all the attention child criminal exploitation is getting at the moment, there's been very little in the media that gives voice to the young people affected. Rebecca's script does just that - these are very human characters, you can't help but be swept along with them. Alongside the play we've been working with young people via Social Services and YMCA to ensure they feel heard and to help us get accurate and useful information out to schools all across Wales, thanks to support from Arts Council Wales and continued support from Swansea Council.
