As part of this healthy dialogue, we need to talk about how an integrated theatr iaith Gymraeg and a non-Welsh language theatre might look? As long as we have 2 national theatres, ACW/CCC encourage a 'that's what they do', a 'ni a nhw' mode of thinking 1/3

Also very moving to recognise we’ve come a long way. And it’s not always straightforward, and it’s not always linear progress. We side-swipe and circle. But we are moving forwards. And what a celebration of that this is. @NTWtweets @bethanmarlow #feralmonster
