I am not an actor so I can not stand upon a stage and act the story of my child at Rhydfelen.
I can not use song or dance to convey my school experiences using my body.
I can but try to ‘write it out’ and be true to myself as a child who attended Rhydfelen school.
As part of the process of ‘digging up’ the past in preparation for the Clywch legal case, I have had to burrow deep down.

If Only I knew yesterday what I know today...
This evening I came back to Aberdare Coliseum to see Frank Vickery’s Erogeneous Zones for a second time this week.
I saw it from a different angle.
This new perspective was nothing to do with the change of seating.
More the fact I was alone.
“Alone” save a few hundred other theatregoers and my feelings for company.
This feeling of joyful alienation.
This feeling of enchantment.
This feeling of escape.
This feeling of being mesmerised listening to the rhythms of Frank’s writing.
This feeling of being delighted by split dialogue and conspiratorial narrative.
This feeling of sadness.
In a reverie in the play’s interval my thoughts dwelled on Ysgol Gyfun Rhydfelen.
At Rhydfelen, the drama department was for many...
