The Enhancing Pembrokeshire Fund project has been hailed a huge success by the school children of Milford Haven Community Primary School.

An 11-week course, with the Torch Theatre at the helm, saw arts experts deliver a term of expressive arts sessions concluding with the young people sharing their hard work in a performance in the Torch’s studio theatre.

The Torch Theatre’s professional team worked with the school’s year 5 pupils on a playwriting and theatre design project in the company of playwright, Katie Elin Salt and theatre designer, Ruth Stringer.

The children created an epic play called Famous Authors which allowed each class to explore different aspects of a chosen favourite author’s life. The project opened doors to many.

One of the pupils undertaking the project said: “I have really enjoyed working with the Torch Theatre this term as the Torch has helped me understand how a play is put together.”
