BIG TELLY PRESENTS / YN CYFLWYNO

MELMOTH THE WANDERER A joyful choir practice is hijacked by a distraught, tormented soul, condemned to relive his terrible story for eternity. No matter how hard the choir tries to escape, their descent into hell is inevitable, terrifying and strangely hilarious. Saw meets FawltyTowers with masks and dodgy German accents. Scary bits, sad bits and funny as hell!

Direct from the Edinburgh Festival Yn uniongyrchol o Wˆyl Caeredin

Mae ymarfer llawen côr yn cael ei herwgipio gan enaid trallodus, arteithiedig, dan gondemniad i ailfyw ei hanes ofnadwy am dragwyddoldeb. Does dim gwahaniaeth pa mor galed mae’r côr yn ceisio dianc, mae eu disgyniad i uffern yn anochel, yn frawychus ac yn rhyfeddol o ddoniol. Mae Saw yn cwrdd â FawltyTowers gyda mygydau ac acenion peryglus Almaenaidd. Rhannau dychrynllyd, rhannau trist ac uffernol o ddoniol!

Following highly successful tours of Bouncers (2010), Up ‘n’ Under: The Welsh Tour (2011) and Neville’s Island by Tim Firth (2012), Black RAT Productions are flying into action with their brand new production. It is the swinging 1960s and Bernard is living his dream life! He has a stylish apartment in Paris and, most importantly… an airline timetable! With accurate planning, and the help of a very reluctant housekeeper, he successfully juggles three gorgeous air stewardess fiancées, each unaware of the others - one up, one down and one pending! Yn dilyn teithiau llwyddiannus eithriadol Bouncers (2010), Up ‘n’ Under: The Welsh Tour (2011) a Neville’s Island gan Tim Firth (2012), mae Cynhyrchiadau Black RAT yn bwrw ati gyda’u cynhyrchiad newydd sbon. Y 60au bywiog yw hi ac mae Bernard yn byw ei fywyd perffaith! Mae ganddo ‘apartment’cain ym Mharis, ac yn bwysicach fyth, amserlen cwmni awyrennau! Gyda chynllunio manwl, a chymorth meistres tyˆ amharod, mae e’n llwyddo jyglo tair fiancée hardd sydd yn stiwardesau awyr, heb yn wybod i ddim un ohonynt – un i fyny, un i lawr ac un wrth gefn!

But turbulence hits Bernard’s perfect life when his friend Robert comes to stay. Weather delayed flights and a new, faster Boeing jet send his busy love life into chaos. Soon all three stewardesses are grounded in Paris and poor Robert struggles to remember which lies to tell to whom, and pandemonium ensues. Fasten your seat belts for this breathtakingly farcical play - brought to you with the usual Black RAT high energy and gusto! A Black RAT Productions and Blackwood Miners’ Institute co-production in association with RCT Theatres and supported by Arts Council Wales.

Ond mae terfysg yn bwrw bywyd perffaith Bernard pan mae ei ffrind Robert yn dod i aros. Hedfaniadau hwyr achos y tywydd ac awyrennau jet newydd cyflymach sy’n troi ei fywyd carwriaethol prysur yn llanastr. Yn fuan, mae’r tair stiwardes i gyd ar y ddaear ym Mharis ac mae Robert druan yn brwydro i gofio pa gelwyddau i ddweud wrth bwy, ac mae pandemoniwm yn dilyn. Tynhewch eich gwregysau diogelwch ar gyfer y ddrama ffarsaidd anhygoel yma, y mae Black RAT yn ei chyflwyno i chi gyda’u hegni ac eiddgarwch arferol!

IGNORANCE

A puppet documentary about the prehistoric origins of humanity, and how our brains evolved into the hideous bliss-sucking parasites they are today. Yes: it’s about why we’re not happy. Sure, we’ve got microwaves, airplanes, and nagging senses of dissatisfaction - but our prehistoric ancestors, who stamped the stones with grubby feet, might just have felt more at home in the world. Sioe ddogfen am wreiddiau cynhanesiol dynoliaeth, a sut mae ein hymenyddiau wedi esblygu i fod y parasitiaid erchyll a’r sugnwyr gwaed y maen nhw heddiw. Ie: ‘Pam nad ydym yn hapus’ yw testun y sioe.

After decades of Puritan austerity, the playhouses have re-opened their doors and crowds flock to see the sensation of the age: an actress of exquisite beauty and charm. Her name is Edward Kynaston. Set in Restoration London, and full of well known characters, the play is a funny and colourful exploration of the rise of the Actress in British history.

Cuddle up around the campfire as Granddad recalls a daring escape from a hungry shark. Tuck into a marshmallow or two as he attempts to make a new set of underpants for a giant, and listen to tales of greedy goblins, grumpy trolls, sneaky princes and a very unusual princess.
