“PEOPLE use Porter’s for a lot of different reasons,” says Dan Porter, the music venue’s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Some are here for the music – some come because they know that nine times out of 10, they will be walking into something happening.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Porter is talking about the Barrack Lane arts venue’s expanison from its roots as a grassroots music and arts venue into an actual theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while those people walking into the venue might previously have stubled across poetry readings or comedy, March 1 will be the first time they are able to stumble across a theatre show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first production is called The Last Flower. It’s is a dystopian take on a classic Welsh folk tale, written and produced by eight artists aged 18-28, known as TEAM’s Young Collective. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
