Thanks to Gary Raymond for speaking with Rebecca Jade Hammond & Rachel Redford for a deep dive into the world of Hot Chicks and the research behind the story on Friday's BBC Radio Wales Arts Show. The programme aired on Friday & is available for 29 days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0028hxv

Last  of our Hot Chicks cast is Richard Elis. Richard plays Cheney, chicken shop owner, Penlan born and bred. The shop is getting a bit tired, but he's a proud man &keeps it spotless. He's protective of Kyla and Ruby, even though they try it on for freebies too often!

The third of our Hot Chicks cast is Rachel Redford who plays Sadie. Sadie is a newcomer to Cheney's Chicken shop. She walks in looking 'a million dollars' and before long Kyla & Ruby are hanging off her every word. Rachel's theatre credits include The Jungle for the Young Vic. #TheatreSky

More about our Hot Chicks cast this week. Alongside Izzi, you'll soon be spotting Port Talbot's Londiwe Mthembu all over Swansea & Cardiff! Londiwe plays Ruby in Hot Chicks:  a 15 yr old who's been let down by others all her short life,

We promised to tell you more about our Hot Chicks cast this week. You'll be seeing this face a lot over the coming weeks as alongside Londiwe Mthembu, Izzi MCCormack is all over the poster for Hot Chicks! Izzi plays Kyla: 15, confident and cocky, with massive dreams and an attitude to match.

We're missing these lovely faces as they are rehearsing in Cardiff this week with our amazing coproduction partners Sherman Theatre. We'll be telling you a bit more about the Hot Chicks cast throughout the week, in between trailer editing, engagement work, poster printing and lots more.

Our production Hot Chicks shines a light on child criminal exploitation in Wales, we hope that it can help to raise awareness of this widespread issue. Read more in this article about hopes that new laws being put in place will shift the blame away from the child victims onto those exploiting them.

“Charges such as drug possession ignore the core truth; these are child abusers exploiting vulnerable young people,” he said. “This is how we break cycles of harm: punish the exploiters, prioritise the victims, and put child safety first.” Mark Russell, The Children’s Society

What a fantastic week we had at #SwanseaGrand with our Hot Chicks company! Lots of script work, a visit to meet the brilliant members of CMET's Young People's Panel and on Friday a rehearsed reading of Rebecca Jade Hammond's funny and gut wrenching script. #UnhealthyRelationships #Exploitation

Diolch i/Thanks to The Edit for highlighting Hot Chicks over on their website! We really appreciate the support for this important new play

You probably know that #Eastenders turns 40 this week (it's been quite hard to miss!) But did you know that the lovely Richard Elis who plays Cheney in Hot Chicks, our new co-production with Sherman Theatre, played Huw, the first Welsh character in Eastenders back in 1996? #tbt #throwbackthursday

Here’s the brilliant cast for Hot Chicks by Rebecca Jade Hammond, our co-pro with Sherman Theatre.   Richard Elis, Izzi McCormack John, Londiwe Mthembu & Rachel Redford. Hot Chicks is directed by Hannah Noone. Sherman Theatre: 21.03-05.05 Swansea Grand Theatre 16.04- 25.04 #NothingInLifeIsFree
