In the charity's own words
The Other Room is a small space for big ideas. Presenting up-close work with a global perspective, it is a place where new Welsh plays go toe-to-toe with the classics of modern drama that celebrates Wales as a bi-lingual nation and where young artists have the freedom to take big risks. From our home in the heart of Cardiff we make ambitious world-class theatre with international reach.
