“I first joined Llandrindod Wells Theatre Company for the 2017 pantomime but I had been involved in costume making the year before and I’m a current committee member.
“I was originally supposed to co-produce the summer show in 2020 but two weeks into rehearsals everything was stopped due to Covid. When it was time to sort out the summer show again I was asked to continue where things were left, however, there had been lots of changes in 2 years and I completely scrapped the original show and started from scratch.
