20 years ago, inspired by The Western Mail’s love of the listicle, goop cop bad cop made the performance “Ten things I hate about Wales” for Cardiff’s Chapter (Arts Centre as I believe it was still called then) Experimentica 04 festival. It was not serious. It led to an invitation to create “Ten things I hate about Theatre” for the Centre for Performance Research’s Aberystwyth conference the following year, which was more serious. I can’t currently recall the contents of either performance. Perhaps I might one day ask the audience for both events what happened…
