“Envelopes young audiences in a warm embrace” “Yn ymddiddori cynulleidfaoedd ifanc yng nghoflaid gynnes” The Scotsman
Running time 40 minutes Amser rhedeg 40 munud
Easter 1230 and an uneasy truce exists between a divided Wales and England. At the court of the charismatic Prince of North Wales, a catastrophe is about to unfold and dreams of a united Wales will crumble… Set in medieval Wales, it is a heartbreaking tale of the disintegration of a marriage played out against a backdrop of political intrigue.

Gyda cherddoriaeth fyw ac enillydd Actores Orau BAFTA Cymru Eiry Thomas yn chwarae rhan Siwan, mae’r perfformiad gyntaf yn y byd o The Royal Bed yn gyfle na ddylid ei golli i gynulleidfa iaith Saesneg i brofi clasur iaith Gymraeg pwerus.

Torch Theatre Company presents / yn cyflwyno
In October 2007 Ray Gravell, a man who for many embodied what it is to be Welsh, passed away after succumbing to complications resulting from contracting diabetes. He was 56 years old.
Ym mis Hydref 2007 bu farw Ray Gravell, dyn a oedd i lawer yn ymgorffori’r hyn ydyw i fod yn Gymro, ar ôl ildio i gymhlethdodau yn deillio o ddala clefyd y siwgr. Roedd yn 56 mlwydd oed.
Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the rugby field, ‘Grav’ was and is so much more than that. An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, a man with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be heard once more.
Yn gyfarwydd i filiynau am ei gampau enwog ar y cae rygbi, roedd ‘Grav’, ac mae’n parhau i fod, cymaint yn fwy na hynny. Actor, eicon diwylliannol, tad, gŵr, dyn gyda bywyd llawn straeon sy’n haeddu cael eu clywed unwaith yn rhagor.
Gareth John Bale stars as ‘Grav’ in a play written by Owen Thomas that celebrates the man and the legend. With the blessing of Mari, Ray’s widow, and contributions from his Welsh and British Lions team mates, this one man show will explore the life of a man who was as fascinating away from the rugby field as he was on it.
Gareth John Bale sy’n chwarae rhan ‘Grav’ mewn drama a ysgrifennwyd gan Owen Thomas sy’n dathlu’r dyn a’r arwr. Gyda sêl bendith Mari, gwraig weddw Ray, a chyfraniadau gan ei gyd-chwaraewyr Cymru a’r Llewod Prydeinig, bydd y sioe un dyn hon yn archwilio bywyd dyn a oedd yr un mor rhyfeddol oddi ar y cae rygbi ag yr oedd arno.

The Experimentrics
5 March, 1.30pm & 7.00pm / 5 Mawrth 1.30pm a 7.00pm £8 (£7, Family/ Teulu £25, £5 schools/ysgolion) The Experimentrics love to put on a show! They love to use the objects they find in unexpected ways, but they are frequently distracted by their own homemade inventions and their mischievous desire to play practical jokes on each other. Science Made Simple‘s innovative theatre show mixes physical theatre and live science demonstrations to create a world of wordless mystery and fun.
Mae’r Experimentrics yn caru perfformio! Maent wrth eu bodd yn defnyddio’r gwrthrychau maent yn darganfod mewn ffyrdd annisgwyl, ond yn aml mae eu dyfeisiadau eu hunain yn achosi iddynt beidio a chanolbwyntio yn ogystal a’u hawydd direidus i chwarae jôcs ar ben ei gilydd. Mae sioe theatr arloesol Science Made Simple yn cymysgu theatr gorfforol ac arddangosiadau gwyddoniaeth byw i greu byd o hwyl a dirgelwch heb eiriau.

The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the survival of (R)evolutionary theories in the face of scientific ecclesiastical objections: Being a musical comedy about Charles Darwin (1809-1882) 19 March, 7.30pm / 19 Mawrth, 7.30pm £10 (£8) A show for young and old alike, The Origin of Species... tells the incredible story of how Charles Darwin came to discover the secrets of evolution and why it took him over twenty years before he plucked up the courage to publish his remarkable idea. It’s a show packed with big ideas, terrible puns, brilliant physical comedy and six cracking original songs about everything from blasted boring barnacles to the perils of marrying your cousin. Sioe ar gyfer yr hen a’r ifanc fel ei gilydd - The Origin of Species - mae’n adrodd y stori anhygoel o sut ddaeth Charles Darwin i ddarganfod cyfrinachau esblygiad a pham y cymerodd dros ugain mlynedd cyn iddo fod yn ddigon dewr i gyhoeddi ei syniad hynod arbennig. Mae’n sioe sy’n llawn syniadau mawr, mwyseiriau ofnadwy, comedi corfforol anhygoel a chwech o ganeuon gwreiddiol gwych am bopeth o gregyn llong diflas i’r peryglon o briodi eich cefnder.
Broadway Baby IIIII “Witty, clever, absurd... Comic genius...Grown-ups will love it. Kids will adore it. A gem.” “Ffraeth, clyfar, hurt... Athrylith gomig ... Bydd oedolion wrth eu boddau. Bydd plant yn dwli arno. Trysor o waith.”

Wedi ei alw’n “Fand Stones Mwyaf Enwog yn Lloegr” gan Syr Mick Jagger, mae The Counterfeit Stones yn perfformio datganiadau ffyddlon a pherffaith o ganeuon gorau The Stones.
This is your chance to catch their note-perfect performances of the Stones classic songs, skilllfully mixed with ‘mockumentary’ style videos, retro costumes and humour. Take a chronological journey through the Rolling Stones heyday. Think great rock’n’roll, think funny, think irreverent, think a little bit risqué…
Dyma’ch cyfle i wylio eu perfformiadau perffaith o glasuron y Stones, wedi’u cymysgu’n glyfar â fideos arddull ‘rhaglen ddogfen ffug’, gwisgoedd retro a hiwmor.

EXHIBITIONS / ARDDANGOSFEYDD Barrie J Davies 15 December - 9 January / 15 Rhagfyr - 9 Ionawr
UNDER NEON LONELINESS
Fun, new and exciting pop-gonewrong surrealist artwork. Barrie’s work is a chaotic and playful visual that explores humour, subversion, the absurd, escapism, the farfetched and generally the silly side of life. Celfwaith swrrealaidd pop ‘wedi mynd o chwith’ sy’n newydd ac yn llawn hwyl. Mae gwaith Barrie yn gelfyddyd weledol anhrefnus a chwareus sydd yn archwilio hiwmor, tanseiliad, yr absẃrd, dihangdod, yr annhebygol ac ochr gwirion bywyd yn gyffredinol.
13 January - 1 February / 13 Ionawr - 1 Chwefror HOLOCAUST
Marking 70 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, local schools will create an exhibition to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. Open to the public from 13th January to 1st February.

Drwy fabwysiadu arddull swrrealaidd a thôn Kafkaesque, mae’r arddangosfa hon yn archwilio diddordeb dynoliaeth gyda’r annaturiol. Drwy gasgliad o gyfosodiadau tywyll a chamffurfiedig , maent yn datgelu amlygiad voyeuraidd o bopeth sydd o’i le a’r cyflwr dynol.

Adopting a surrealist style and a Kafkaesque tone, this exhibition explores humanities fascination with the unnatural. Through an array of obscure, malformed juxtapositions, they betray a voyeuristic manifestation of all that is wrong with the human condition.

Mae’r manteision o fod yn Archebwr Grw ˆpy Sefydliad yn cynnwys: n rhybudd ymlaen llaw o sioeau; n prynwch 14 tocyn a chael y 15fed am ddim; na rchebu o flaen llaw ar gyfer diodydd, hufen iâ, rhaglenni a nwyddau at yr egwyl. Gwneir ad-daliadau a chyfnewidiadau yn ôl doethineb y staff. Efallai y gofynnir i’r sawl sy’n cyrraedd yn hwyr aros nes bod toriad addas yn y perfformiad cyn cymryd eu seddau.
