On 28th October we piled into St Peter's Civic Hall all eagerly waiting to be thoroughly entertained and we weren't to be disappointed. "241" written by the comedy genius Daniel Williams consisted of two plays "Patience" and "Bumps in the night" and four actors, Daniel Williams, Rhian Owen, Steffan Hughes and Iwan Williams. The plays contained fifty characters all shared between the four actors and no dialogue except the odd mumble, groan or beautifully timed comment.
"Patience" told the story of being the one constantly over looked in your doctors surgery and the madness that can come with being the last man standing or in this case sitting, sweating at the thought of what might happen next. The character played by the brilliant Iwan Williams was rather Mr Bean inspired and had the whole audience including myself in stitches throughout, proving you don't need a dialogue when you have such a well put together talented cast. Whilst "Bumps in the night" appropriately dedicated to Daniel's little girl told the story of the difficulties of managing to sleep whilst having a baby and the craziness that happens when all you want is some peace and quiet! Throughout the piece the comedic timing couldn't have been more on point and I think the audience would agree as laughter was all that could be heard through the hall. "241" is just another perfect example of how Daniel Williams is going from strength to strength as a writer and getting the recognition he so rightfully deserves. Its difficult to put into words just how entertaining this performance was and how fantastic the entire cast is. All I can say is the Principal Players are definitely a very talented group of individuals that you need to look out for on the theatre circuit.
