In Character was founded by Eleri Twynog, a former Head of Marketing and Events at S4C, who introduced live children’s shows at events to promote the S4C brand and programmes. Having left S4C to launch In Character, Eleri works closely alongside freelance writers, directors, designers and actors to promote and realise the vision to educate and entertain young people and wider audiences by bringing Welsh history to life.

Ffion first collaborated with In Character as an actor, performing in Boudicca – The Warrior Queen and Mary Jones – My Footprint. She later temporarily hung up her acting shoes and spent the next three years working for the Shakespeare Schools Foundation, a cultural educational charity, where she oversaw the world’s largest youth drama project, the Shakespeare Schools Festival, in Wales. With a career that includes working as an actor on touring and outdoor productions; facilitating workshops; and producing, Ffion is delighted to be back with In Character, where she can put all of her experiences to use (and continue to occasionally dress up in the name of history!)

Although Janet has acted continuously during her 40 year career, she now spends more and more of her time directing. She’s been a part of In Character from the beginning, and has directed a long list of the company’s shows. She also wrote Kate, which tells the story of Welsh author Kate Roberts. Following a warm reception, Kate was adapted for the radio. She has also directed Estron and Primera Cena for Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru, and for the last twenty years she has produced and directed various animated series for P.O.P1 a Tinopolis. Her recent work includes Dai Potsh, Digbi Draig and two series of Bing. She continues to enjoy some acting, and she appears occasionally on Pobol y Cwm as DI Davies.
