Othello

Mae’r ddrama hon wedi cael ei gynhyrchu gan un o gwmniau teithiol blaenllaw Shakespeare gyda actorion sydd wedi ennill gwobrau. Mae Othello yn delio gyda phynciau sydd mor berthnasol heddiw ag oedd i’r bobl a welodd y ddrama gyntaf 400 o flynyddoedd yn ôl. Dyma gyfle i wylio drama gyda rhai o llinellau fwyaf hardd ac enwog, cymeriadau a golygfeydd deinamig.

Anvil’s new production of Shakespeare’s gripping tragedy of jealousy and greed. Produced by one of the leading Shakespeare touring companies in the country and with award-winning actors, Anvil presents one of The Bard’s most popular plays. Othello deals with the issues as relevant to us today as they were to the people who first saw it over 400 years ago. With some of the most beautiful and famous lines ever written, dynamic characters and the most dramatic scenes, this is a rare opportunity to present drama at its very best.

The Hound of the Baskervilles
Illyria

Stori adnabyddus Syr Arthur Conan Doyle mewn fersiwn annisgwyl gan Illyria.

An ancient curse hangs over the Baskerville family of Dartmoor: all are said to die a brutal death, the victim of a monstrous ghostly hound. When Sir Charles Baskerville meets an untimely end, the case is brought to the attention of Sherlock Holmes. But of what use is the famous detective's scientific reasoning when confronted with a purely supernatural case? As Watson rushes to Devon on the 8.49, an escaped convict roams the wastes of Dartmoor, a dark shadow tiptoes down the silent empty corridors of Baskerville Hall and a distant howling echoes in the moonlight... Illyria promise a cheeky but surprisingly chilling take on the detective classic.


Reviews and Comments

"UNMISSABLE!" The Scotsman

What a performance it was. You would never have guessed that they were probably exhausted, for it was driven with such enthusiasm. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s masterpiece was a pleasure to watch. The twists and turns of its Agatha Christie style plot about murder, a mystic moor and a horrifying hound, were gripping. Julia Taylor, Manchester Evening News

Much Ado About Nothing

Comedi Shakespeare mewn lleoliad arbennig - dewch a picnic hefo chi.

The Lord Chamberlains Men, Britains premier all-male theatre company, return to the stunning setting of Harlech Castle to present Shakespeares sparkling summer comedy. The open-air play, which encourages audience members to bring along picnics, deckchairs, and a glass of something chilled, promises to be as original and entertaining as last year's critically acclaimed Romeo & Juliet.

"Innovative, well staged and acted. A terrific show" The Independent

"A truly original performance, the cast threw so much energy and excitement into the script, that thought I was seeing the play for the first time, particularly bottom's scenes, which before I often found tedious." Abby Ray, Bath Chronicle

"Increasing the pleasure of a very enjoyable evening (the audience was attentive and appreciative throughout) was the feeling that we were participating in a re-enactment of a bygone age" Sheila Conner

The Merry Wives of Windsor

Illyria

Hwyl a thwyll rhwng Falstaff a Mrs Page a Mrs Ford yn nrama fywiog Shakespeare.

Falstaff sends identical love-letters to Mrs Page and Mrs Ford, but recognising that his intentions are not entirely honourable they set about to humiliate him in the most extravagant ways they can devise. Will Mistress Ford defend her stainless reputation? Why is there a duel between a French doctor and a Welsh priest? All will be made ENTIRELY clear but not before Falstaff has been tipped into the river, dressed up as a witch, beaten with cudgels and set on fire. Multiple international award-winning Illyria return to their home turf ? Shakespeare at his most boisterous and farcical.

Cliffhanger
Bash Street Theatre

Cyfle i wylio cynhyrchiad mewn steil ffilm-ddistaw gyda adeiladau’n disgyn, ffrwydriadau, hiwmor slapstic Buster Keaton yw ysbrydoliaeth y cynhyrchiad hwn gan gynwys cyfeiliant piano yn y theatr os fydd hi’n glawio.

With falling buildings, dare-devil escapology, slap-stick humour and live piano accompaniment, CLIFFHANGER! is a silent-movie style production that returns to the golden age of the silver screen. Inspired by Buster Keaton's short film 'Convict 13', it follows the fortunes of a love-sick cafeaiter as he becomes innocently embroiled in a prison escape.

Review and Comments

‘This is a very clever, witty and well thought out show… kept young and old entranced for a full hour.’ Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
‘The best realised and most enjoyable show… a well-crafted, well-performed, funny and engaging street theatre show.’ Dorothy Max Prior, Total Theatre Magazine

Lleuwen Steffan

Lleuwen hails from the Welsh speaking heartlands of North Wales and although her vocal training has been essentially classical, early influences like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald have taken deep root in her soul. Lleuwen has released an album of hymns; God Only Knows in 2005 and has recent released solo album Penmon, reflecting the Welsh landscape which inspires her. One thing's for sure when Lleuwen sings, it sounds like she’s giving away her whole soul! She makes each song breathe with longing, or ‘hiraeth’.

Mae Lleuwen yn dod o fro Gymraeg Ynys Môn ac erbod ei hyfforddiant yn glasurol, dylanwadau cynnar hi oedd Billie Holiday ac Ella Fitzgerald oedd wedi ei ysbrydoli. Maw Lleuwen wedi rhyddhau albwm o emynau; Duw a Ŵyr yn 2005 ac mae hi wedi rhyddhau albwm unawd Penmon, ac sydd yn adlewyrchu tir Cymru. Un peth syn siŵr pryd mae Lleuwen yn canu, Mae hi’n seinio fel hi’n eich rhodd ei enaid cyfan. Mae hi’n gwneud pob cân anadlu gyda hiraeth.

Ember

In a more intimate café environment, you can enjoy Ember, a very much in demand Welsh/American duo. Their simple yet moving music centres on the miraculous blending of two very different voices: that of Welsh songstress Emily Williams, who sails through the mix with her violin and sets up chunky rhythms with her nylon-strung guitar, and that of Rebecca Sullivan of Utah who fingerpicks a sparkling steel-string, and breaks out the harmonica for a song or two. The pair are engaging and humorous performers who have a natural repartee with audiences and perform their own folk sound.

Yn amgylchoedd café gydag awyrgylch glyd, allwch chi fwynhau Ember, band yn boblogaidd o Gymru ac America. Eu cerddoriaeth syml a gwefreiddiol nhw yn cyfuno dau o leisiau gwahanol. Yn gyntaf, y gantores Gymraeg Emily Williams, fydd yn chwarae ffidl a rhythmau talpiog ar ei gitâr a Rebecca Sullivan, yn dod o Utah, fydd yn chwarae harmonica ac yn canu un neu ddwy o ganeuon. Maen nhw yn berfformwyr dymunol a thalent naturiol, a bydd yn perfformio eu sŵn gwerin arbennig.
