Chatting to change makers who have Dared to Be Different and stand up and speak out. We discuss social change that has occurred over the last 30 years, how language has evolved and is evolving and how we still have more work to do. I am interested to look at the role that the Arts play, to both inspire, provoke, educate and support social change.

LISTEN NOW! Mole - The Audioplay.
It’s never too late to start being happy. Not only is Mole a lonely 50 something autistic Welsh woman, she is also an unsuccessful face-painter, lost in her own world. Sylvia, the "tragically English" Lady of the Manor, who is also seeking purpose and a way out of her loneliness, takes Mo under her wing. The two soon discover that they have more in common than first meets the eye. Through Mo’s honesty and openness about autism, Sylvia finds a way to access her love for the child she lost a half a lifetime ago. As their friendship develops, the two step out of their respective shadows. Initially a tale of loneliness, love and lost motherhood, “Mole” serves as a beacon of hope for all of us.
Mo: Sharon Morgan: Actor, Apostle, Resistance, Torchwood.
Sylvia: Richenda Carey: Actor, Downton Abbey, The Secret Diaries of Anne Lister, Monarch of the Glen.
Mary: Gillian Elisa: Actor, Hidden, 35 Awr, Gavin and Stacey.
Theme Tune – That Scares Me, by Judith Owen, featuring Julia Fordham. Judith recorded an instrumental version, exclusively for Mole.

Photography and Makeup Saran Morgan

Producers Sade Giliberti and Samantha Grierson Schwarz

I am thrilled to announce the Theme tune for Mole... "That Scares Me" by Judith Owen and Julia Fordham.
I heard Judith sing it live as a part of the show she performed in with Ruby Wax in 2011, "Losing It" about mental health issues, specifically depression. It really moved me, if you havent heard it, click on the link below, the lyrics are poignant and the vocals are mesmorising, which capture the duet nature of Mo and Sylvia on their journey of rediscovery.
Judith Owen is also Welsh, which seemed even more perfect for the play Mole, which is set in Wales. Mole will release on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon Music mid March 2021 and is the second in the autism themed trilogy "So Crocodile" by Samantha Grierson Schwarz.

Mole - The Audio Play. I am proud to present Gillan Elisa as Mary. Gillian has worked extensively in both Welsh and English television, and theatre, playing characters such as Sabrina in Pobol y Cwm, Detective Sergeant Allison Griffiths in A Mind to Kill (with Philip Madoc) and Nessa's lingerie seller in Gavin and Stacey. She continues to entertain live audiences with her incorrigible creation Mrs OTT and recently presented the delightful dog lovers' documentary Pobol y Cŵn on S4C.
Fans of Billy Elliot will recognize Gillian as 'Grandma' who she played in the West End for five years. Gillian also played 'Nana Pat' in Ruth Jones's Sky 1 hit series Stella.
She recently featured in the Bafta award winning BANG on S4C as well as the spine-chiller series HIDDEN. In S4C’s popular courtroom drama 35 Awr, Gillian played the unforgettable Val.
In 2017 she toured with Karen Diamond's Company Re-live, in the highly acclaimed play, 'Belonging.' Also toured South Wales with the musical TIC TOC in 2019 with an all female cast about Factory Women.
A prolific actor, and a talented singer, Gillian has recorded four CD's comprising musical theatre and popular songs, in both Welsh and English, and has appeared in several pantomimes nationwide.
Gillian recently played the part of Widow Corney in the highly succesful, popular, musical 'Oliver' during the Summer Season of 2019, at The Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
Gillian is delighted to be part of the cast of MOLE.

Introducing Heather Peace as Crocodile.......

Crocodile is fast talking, fast acting and does whatever occurs to her. Her best mate Beau tries to keep her on track and her irreverent sense of humour goes someway to curb her behaviour, enter Syd a decorator with a love of ice cream and looking for something more…. exit Crocodile who is always looking for something different... until she isn’t.

A bitter sweet play that navigates identity, neurodiversity, loss, love and mushrooms.
