28 theatre Rhosllanerchrugog, just outside Wrexham, is remarkable for many reasons. It’s said to be the largest village in Wales. It has several magnificent choirs. And it’s home to Theatr Stiwt. The venue, which hosts all sorts of drama and musical performances, is as much a centre for Welsh culture now as it was back in 1926, when it first opened. The intimate 150-seat Studio Theatre at Yale College in Wrexham stages regular Theatr Stiwt productions, while the Riverside Studio Theatre – home to Wrexham Musical Theatre Society – is more bijou still, seating 120. Other stalwarts of the amateur scene include Grove Park Theatre, whose productions have been thrilling audiences since 1925. Shows in 2012 include After Miss Julie, Men of the World and Dracula.

wrexham culture We like culture. We like art, music, fashion and everything else. But like every place, Wrexham has a culture of its own too. The little things that make it what it is. Sometimes it’s hard to put your finger on. But if you stand on the terraces at the Racecourse football stadium, together with our fans, supporting our team, you might understand. If you walk into a pub and see walls plastered with memorabilia that pays homage to the original Wrexham Lager, you might understand. And if you sit in the back of a village hall and listen to a male voice choir rehearse – and feel the hair start to prickle on the back of your neck – you might understand. And if you see teenagers free-running on Llwyn Isaf green – jump, flip, no room for error – or young musicians with a busted guitar amp unleashing their creative dreams on the street corner, you’ll probably understand. 29
