Welcome to our autumn season brochure, and a very special edition it is as the Sherman is turning 40 this year. To celebrate this milestone we will be holding lots of events and activities throughout the year (see page 2 for further details) and keep an eye out for the 40 logo throughout the brochure for more 40th anniversary productions.

We are particularly looking forward to Simon Crowther’s (The Get Together) witty adaptation of Alexander Ostrovsky’s classic satire It’s A Family Affair. The story centres on a proud patriarch and the family he’d be wise not to trust.

Later in the season is our annual festive treat, this year we bring you The Sleeping Beauties, Rob Evans’ (Peter Pan) twist on the much loved fairytale, and for the little ones we have Corina Pavlova and the Lion’s Roar / Corina Pavlova a’r Llew sy’n Rhuo, a show full of singing, fun and a little bit of magic.

We look forward to welcoming you very soon.

Croeso i lyfryn tymor yr hydref, sy’n rhifyn arbennig iawn, gan fod y Sherman yn dathlu ei benblwydd yn ddeugain eleni. I ddathlu’r garreg filltir hon byddwn yn cynnal llu o ddigwyddiadau a gweithgareddau drwy gydol y flwyddyn (gweler tudalen 2 am ragor o fanylion) ac edrychwch am y logo 40 sy’n ymddangos drwy’r llyfryn am ragor o gynyrchiadau sydd wedi’u hysbrydoli gan ein penblwydd yn ddeugain.

Ym mis Medi, mae’n bleser mawr gan Sherman Cymru gyflwyno addasiad ffraeth Simon Crowther (The Get Together) o ddrama ddychanol glasurol Alexander Ostrovsky, It’s A Family Affair. Mae’r stori’n seiliedig ar batriarch balch a’r teulu y byddai’n ddoeth iddo beidio ag ymddiried ynddynt.

Yn ddiweddarach yn y tymor cewch wledd Nadoligaidd flynyddol, ac eleni rydym yn cyflwyno The Sleeping Beauties, addasiad Rob Evans (Peter Pan) o’r chwedl dylwyth teg boblogaidd, ac i’r plantos Corina Pavlova a’r Llew sy’n Rhuo / Corina Pavlova and the Lion’s Roar, sioe yn llawn hwyl a chanu a mymryn bach o hud a lledrith.

Edrychwn ymlaen i’ch croesawau cyn bo hir.

40th Events Digwyddiadau 40

Supported by / Cefnogwyd gan: The Garfield Weston Foundation

As our 40th birthday fast approaches we have been busy organising all sorts of celebrations to mark the event.

Here’s a taster of what’s coming up:

Gan fod ein penblwydd yn ddeugain yn prysur agosáu, rydym wedi bod yn brysur yn trefnu pob math o ddathliadau. Dyma ragflas o’r hyn sydd i ddod yn ddiweddarach eleni:

Playwriting

Ysgrifennu Dramâu

To commemorate our 40th anniversary we have set ourselves a task: How many plays can we produce in a season? With the help of our Advanced Writers, ScriptSlam submissions and foyer reading groups our challenge will culminate with our Christmas productions.

Totting up the plays and keeping track of our progress will be our very own Sherman Cymru leader board situated in the foyer.

I ddathlu ein penblwydd yn ddeugain rydym wedi gosod tasg i ni ein hunain: Faint o ddramâu y gallwn eu cynhyrchu mewn un tymor? Gyda chymorth ein Hawduron Profiadol, cyflwyniadau ScriptSlam a grwpiau darllen y cyntedd, bydd ein her yn cyrraedd uchafbwynt gyda chynyrchiadau’r Nadolig. Cedwir cyfrif o’r dramâu a chofnod o’n cynnydd ar y bwrdd sgorio, a fydd wedi’i leoli yn y cyntedd.

Foyer Sessions

Sesiynau’r Cyntedd

Even the Foyer Sessions, our free music gigs, are joining in for our birthday celebrations. Later in the year we will see some very special acts gracing our Foyer Session stage, keep an eye on our @ShermanSofa twitter account for the latest announcements and breaking news!

Mae hyd yn oed Sesiynau’r Cyntedd, ein gigiau cerddorol am ddim, yn ymuno yn ein dathliadau penblwydd. Yn ddiweddarach eleni bydd gwesteion arbennig iawn yn ymddangos ar lwyfan ein Sesiynau Cyntedd, felly cadwch lygaid ar ein cyfrif trydar @ShermanSofa am y cyhoeddiadau a’r newyddion diweddaraf!

Open Days

Diwrnodau Agored

14 September / Medi 12 October / Hydref Join us for two very special Open Days where we’ll open our doors wide and welcome you behind the scenes. With backstage tours, arts and crafts and lots of family activities this is the best way to experience what the Sherman has to offer.

14 September / Medi 12 October / Hydref Ymunwch â ni am ddau Ddiwrnod Agored arbennig iawn ble y byddwn yn agor ein drysau led y pen ac yn eich gwahodd y tu ôl i’r llenni.

Gyda theithiau cefn llwyfan, celf a chrefft a llu o weithgareddau i’r teulu, dyma’r ffordd orau o brofi’r hyn sydd gan y Sherman i’w gynnig.

Memory Project

Y Prosiect Atgofion

With 40 years of memories to tap into, we invite you to take a trip down memory lane. We will be reinvigorating our Memory Project by gathering people’s thoughts and recollections, photos and programmes, so share your memories of the Sherman, no matter how far back they stretch!

Gyda 40 mlynedd o atgofion, rydym yn eich gwahodd i fynd yn ôl i’r gorffennol. Byddwn yn adfywio ein Prosiect Atgofion, drwy gasglu meddyliau ac atgofion pobl, lluniau a rhaglenni, felly rhannwch eich atgofion o’r Sherman, waeth pa mor bell yn ôl!

Memory Salon

Cynulliad Atgof

Company 4 12 October / Hydref In an extended 5 hour improvisation senior members of the Youth Theatre (Company 4), utilising costumes from the last 40 years, will create an unfolding series of memory tableaux. The Memory Salon is a tribute to the many rich and varied productions from the Sherman’s 40-year history of producing memorable theatre. A one off experience with a live sound mix, never to be repeated.

Company 4 12 October / Hydref Mewn 5 awr o berfformiadau byrfyfyr estynedig, bydd aelodau hŷn y Theatr Ieuenctid (Company 4), yn defnyddio gwisgoedd o’r deugain mlynedd a fu i greu cyfres o olygfeydd yn seiliedig ar atgofion. Mae’r Cynulliad Atgof yn deyrnged i’r llu o gynyrchiadau cyfoethog ac amrywiol a welwyd yn ystod deugain mlynedd o hanes y Sherman o greu theatr gofiadwy. Profiad unigryw gyda chymysgedd sain fyw, na fydd byth yn digwydd eto.

Late September - the swallows are flying South and the church where Matthew’s father preaches prepares for Harvest Thanksgiving.

Mae’n ddiwedd mis Medi - mae’r gwenoliaid yn hedfan tua’r De ac mae’r eglwys lle mae tad Matthew yn bregethwr yn paratoi ar gyfer Diolchgarwch y Cynhaeaf.

But this sixteen-year-old autistic boy finds religious matters bewildering at best and scary at worst, preferring the company of his beloved birds. Matthew’s mother introduces him to a music therapist and from the moment he hears it, Matt is hooked on the mellifluous sounds of the guitar.

Mike James’s new drama, directed

by Chris Durnall, features Calum Glanville-Ellis in the title role, and includes an original score by renowned folk musicians Robin and Bina Williamson.

The return of last year’s sell-out success. From minister’s daughter to Oscar-nominated, booze-soaked, shockingly foul-mouthed Hollywood star, Rachel Roberts (played by BAFTA-winner Helen Griffin) was showered with awards for her powerful, passionate performances in the ground-breaking kitchen-sink dramas, Saturday Night & Sunday Morning and This Sporting Life.

Mae llwyddiant ysgubol y llynedd yn dychwelyd i’r llwyfan. O ferch i weinidog i seren Hollywood feddw sy’n siarad yn fras ac sydd wedi cael ei henwebu am sawl Oscar, cafodd Rachel Roberts (Helen Griffin, ennillydd gwobr BAFTA) lu o wobrau am ei pherfformiadau grymus ac angerddol yn y dramâu tun lludw arloesol, Saturday Night & Sunday Morning a This Sporting Life.

Marriage to Rex Harrison brought a superstar lifestyle which she embraced whole-heartedly – and then set about destroying with her outrageous, provocative behaviour. But even in her darkest moments, no-one escaped her bleak and scathing sense of humour, least of all herself...

Yn sgil priodi Rex Harrison cafodd fyw fel seren, rhywbeth a groesawodd â breichiau agored ac yna aeth ati i’w ddinistrio gyda’i hymddygiad gwallgof, pryfoclyd.

Ond hyd yn oed yn ei hawr dduaf, nid oedd modd i neb ddianc rhag ei hiwmor llym a brathog, gan gynnwys hi ei hun.....

Schrödinger Reckless Sleepers

Date / Dyddiad: 11 & 12 September / Medi

Theatre / Theatr: 1 Running time / Hyd y perfformiad: 60m Production performed in / Iaith y perfformiad: English / Saesneg

Haunting, beautiful, dramatic sense… a space for gripping physical theatre.

Time / Amser: 7.30pm

Tickets / Tocynnau: £12 - £20 Concessions / Gostyngiadau: £2 off / i ffwrdd Under 25s / Dan 25: Half price / Hanner pris

In 1933 Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for his contribution to quantum mechanics. He theorised a box in which a cat exists as living and dead at the same time. In 1998 Reckless Sleepers built that box - and now over a decade later, they are climbing back inside.

Yn 1933 enillodd Erwin Schrödinger Wobr Nobel am ei gyfraniad at fecaneg cwantwm. Fe greodd ddamcaniaeth am flwch lle y gall cath fod yn fyw ac yn farw ar yr un pryd. Yn 1998 adeiladwyd y blwch hwnnw gan Reckless Sleepers - a thros ddegawd yn ddiweddarach, maent yn dringo yn ôl i mewn iddo.

In one of the company’s most celebrated performance pieces the impossible is probable: truth and illusion are inseparable. Laws are made, bent, then broken. It’s a visually mesmerising performance that sways between question and answer, chaos and order, what we can measure and what we can’t.

There will be accompanying workshops as part of WSD2013.

False bankruptcy, spoilt rich kids, matchmakers on the take and lawyers on the bottle. Welcome to the world of Moscow’s merchant class, the nouveau riche of 19th century Russia. Written in 1849 then promptly banned, Alexander Ostrovsky’s debut comedy is a scathing satire on a vulgar and deluded society, where blackmail and hypocrisy abound, the rouble rules, and everyone can be bought, sold or borrowed.

Ffug fethdalwyr, plant cyfoethog wedi’u difetha, trefnwyr priodasau sy’n godro arian a chyfreithwyr ar y botel. Croeso i fyd dosbarth masnachol Moscow, nouveau riche Rwsia’r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg. Wedi’i hysgrifennu yn 1849 a’i gwahardd bron yn syth, mae comedi gyntaf Alexander Ostrovsky yn ddrama ddychan ddeifiol am gymdeithas ddichwaeth sydd wedi twyllo’i hun, sy’n llawn blacmêl a rhagrith, sy’n cael ei rheoli gan y rwbl, lle mae pawb yn gallu cael ei brynu, ei werthu neu’i fenthyg.

William Thomas (Twin Town, Mr Nice, Torchwood, Gavin and Stacey, Belonging) is aging merchant Bolshov, who dreams of a daughter-free retirement whilst clinging to his wealth in this new adaptation by Simon Crowther (Sherman Cymru’s The Get Together, ITV’s Coronation Street). Rhodri Meilir (My Family, Caerdydd) is Bolshov’s hapless clerk Lazar, in love with the boss’s daughter but embroiled in his scheme… The question is, who has an eye for the big chance?

A night of scheming, plotting and laughter.

William Thomas (Twin Town, Mr Nice, Torchwood, Gavin and Stacey, Belonging) yw Bolshov, y masnachwr sy’n heneiddio sy’n breuddwydio am ymddeol a chael gwared ar ei ferch ond dal ei afael yn ei gyfoeth yn yr addasiad newydd hwn gan Simon Crowther (The Get Together gan Sherman Cymru, Coronation Street). Rhodri Meilir (My Family, Caerdydd) yw Lazar, clerc anffodus Bolshov, sydd mewn cariad â merch ei feistr ond sy’n rhan o’i gynllwyn... Y cwestiwn mawr yw, pwy sy’n gallu gweld y cyfle mawr?

Noson o gynllunio a chwerthin.

An invitation to witness three exceptional dancers as they collaborate in the making of their own choreographic portraits in this revealing documentary film.

Gwahoddiad i wylio tair dawnswraig eithriadol yn cydweithio i greu eu portreadau coreograffig eu hunain yn y ffilm ddogfen ddadlennol hon.

Three women talk candidly about their relationship with dance, performance and what it is to be watched.

The unique performances that result are both elaborate and supremely personal: as idiosyncratic as the women who dance them, demonstrating excellence, intimacy and honesty through performance.

Tair menyw sy’n siarad yn agored am eu perthynas â dawns, perfformiad a sut deimlad yw cael eu gwylio.

Mae’r perfformiadau unigryw sy’n deillio o hyn yn gymhleth ac yn hynod bersonol: mor idiosyncratig â’r menywod sy’n eu dawnsio, gan ddangos rhagoriaeth, agosrwydd a gonestrwydd drwy gydol y perfformiad.

He is the funniest comedian I have ever seen… A passionate, chaotically brilliant comedian.

The Sunday Times

I am completely in awe of Robert Newman. Of his talent, his passion, his intelligence, and the way he turns them to comedy with real firepower.

The Scotsman

Time / Amser: 8.00pm

Tickets / Tocynnau: £14

“Natural history is so full of freaky facts that when you tackle the complexity, you find that there is a wealth of detail, oodles of oddity which lend themselves to comedy.”

Comedian, journalist, novelist and activist Rob Newman makes a hotly anticipated return to comedy with his first complete show in 7 years.

Mae y digrifwr, y newyddiadurwr a’r ymgyrchydd Rob Newman yn dychwelyd i fyd comedi gyda’i sioe lawn gyntaf mewn 7 mlynedd.

Rob describes the 150-year controversy in evolutionary theory and explores how the latest science demonstrates that DNA is not destiny. From a Devil’s Orchard made by lemon ants, to female buffalo voting which way to go, from Prince Kropotkin escaping a Tsarist dungeon to altruistic vampire bats and Richard Dawkins’ postman wrestling naked, Rob Newman argues that cooperation drives evolution more than competition.

Disgrifia Rob y ddadl am ddamcaniaeth esblygiad sydd wedi bod yn cael ei thrafod ers 150 o flynyddoedd ac ymchwilia i sut mae’r wyddoniaeth ddiweddaraf yn dangos nad tynged yw DNA. O Berllan y Diafol wedi’i chreu gan forgrug lemwn, i fyfflos benywaidd yn pleidleisio dros ba drywydd i’w ddilyn a phostmon Richard Dawkins yn reslo’n noeth, dadleua Rob Newman fod cydweithredu yn llywio esblygiad yn fwy na chystadleuaeth.

NIE returns to the Sherman Theatre following last season’s success, Past Half Remembered.

Mae NIE yn dychwelyd i Theatr y Sherman ar ôl llwyddiant Past Half Remembered.

In July 1897 three Swedish adventurers set off for the North Pole in a hydrogen filled balloon to discover new lands, map the undiscovered Arctic and to plant the flag of Sweden at the pole.

They were never seen again...

Ym mis Gorffennaf 1897 cychwynnodd tri anturiaethwr ar daith i Begwn y Gogledd mewn balŵn yn llawn hydrogen i ddarganfod gwledydd newydd, i fapio’r Arctig nad oedd wedi’i ddarganfod ac i godi baner Sweden yn y pegwn. Ni chawsant eu gweld yn fyw byth eto...

Using an international cast and a delightful mix of projection, physical theatre, storytelling and live music, NIE invite you to join them on an exhilarating journey into one of the worlds last great wilderness areas.

A journey full of hope and daring, of frostbite and patriotic songs, of seal meat and sharing a sleeping bag. A dream and a nightmare of the great white North.

Gan ddefnyddio cast rhyngwladol a chymysgedd gwych o daflunio, theatr gorfforol a cherddoriaeth fyw, mae NIE yn eich gwahodd i ymuno â nhw ar daith fywiog i un o anialdiroedd mawr olaf y byd.

Dyma daith yn llawn gobaith a her, ewinrhew a chaneuon gwladgarol, cig morlo a rhannu sach cysgu. Breuddwyd a hunllef y Gogledd mawr gwyn.

“They say it’s a free country - but it never feels that way. Because you never get to do what you want.”

Karen wants to get home before dark. Tim wants to settle down with Hannah - but Hannah wants to see the world. Pearl wants to be left independent in the house where she was born.

Mae Karen eisiau cyrraedd adref cyn iddi dywyllu. Mae Tim am setlo i lawr gyda Hannah - ond mae Hanna eisiau gweld y byd. Mae Pearl am bod yn annibynnol yn y tŷ lle y cafodd ei geni.

And Shaun - if we’re lucky, Shaun is a loveable rogue, wanting to make a few extra quid with a bit of mischief. But if we’re unlucky…

Six characters collide at a city centre bus stop on a series of winter evenings, human suffering finding solace in its fellow’s pain.

Mae chwe chymeriad yn cwrdd mewn arhosfan bws yng nghanol dinas ar nosweithiau gaeafol, fydda’r rhai sy’n dioddef yn canfod cysur ym mhoen eraill.

Sold is a play based on the testimonies of individuals who have all suffered at the hands of traffickers in Wales. They come from different backgrounds and circumstances, all different ages and each with their own individual shocking story of how they have been trafficked.

Moving and darkly humourous, this insight into victims’ lives shows us how close to home the problem lies.

Director / Cyfarwyddwr: Jennifer S Hartley Photo / Llun: Michael Regan

Mae Sold yn ddrama sy’n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth unigolion sydd oll wedi dioddef dan law masnachwyr pobl yng Nghymru.

Maent yn dod o wahanol gefndiroedd ac amgylchiadau, pob un o wahanol oedran a phob un â’i hanes brawychus ei hun am gael ei fasnachu.

Mae’r ddrama hon, sy’n llawn emosiwn a hiwmor tywyll, yn rhoi cipolwg i ni ar fywydau’r dioddefwyr ac yn dangos i ni pa mor agos i gartref yw’r broblem.

Award-winning writer Chris Goode asked forty 8-to-10 year olds to talk about their lives. About being scared, getting lost, being brave, growing up.

About the adult world that surrounds and awaits them. About family and faith and their favourite sweets.

Gofynnodd yr awdur llwyddiannus Chris Goode i ddeugain o blant 8 i 10 oed siarad am eu bywydau. Am fod yn ofnus, am fynd ar goll, am fod yn ddewr, am dyfu’n hŷn. Am fyd yr oedolion sydd o’u cwmpas ac sy’n eu haros. Am deulu a ffydd a’u hoff losin.

In Monkey Bars, their words are spoken by adults – playing adults in adult situations.

Yn Monkey Bars, caiff eu geiriau eu llefaru gan oedolion - sy’n chwarae oedolion mewn sefyllfaoedd oedolion.

Monkey Bars is a funny and endlessly surprising verbatim show which offers a revelatory insight into what children are trying to tell us about their lives that we don’t always hear.

Mae Monkey Bars yn berfformiad doniol gair am air sy’n ein synnu dro ar ôl tro ac sy’n rhoi golwg ddadlennol i ni ar yr hyn y mae plant yn ceisio’i ddweud wrthym am eu bywydau ond nad ydym bob amser yn ei glywed.

Out of the Shadow is an extraordinary mix of breaking, popping and locking, contemporary dance, acrobatics and ballet. It tells a cautionary tale, from the creation of the Universe and evolution of man through to an imaginary apocalyptic future. Set to an epic soundtrack, we see primal images of sacrifice and betrayal, of love and pleasure, death and destruction in this thrilling show.

Cymysgedd rhyfeddol o ddawnsstryd, dawns gyfoes, campau acrobatig a bale yw Out of the Shadow. Mae’n adrodd stori â gwers ynddi, o greu’r Bydysawd i esblygiad dyn a dyfodol apocalyptaidd dychmygol. Gan ddefnyddio dim ond eu cyrff, mae’r criw o 10 yn creu golygfeydd o fyd arall drwy drawsnewid eu hunain yn strwythurau, yn greaduriaid a hyd yn oed yn beiriannau. Gyda thrac sain epig yn gefndir, gwelwn ddelweddau cyntefig o aberth a brad, cariad a phleser, marwolaeth a dinistr yn y sioe wefreiddiol hon.

The stars of Breakin’ Convention at Sadler’s Wells in London, Nobulus return to the UK with the full length version of their critically acclaimed show, Out of the Shadow.

April, 1984. 13:00. Comrade 6079 Winston Smith thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is watching him - and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye.

Ebrill 2013 13:00 Mae rhywbeth yn dod i feddwl Winston Smith, Cymrawd 6079. Mae’n dechrau ysgrifennu dyddiadur ac yn syrthio mewn cariad. Ond mae’r Brawd Mawr yn ei wylio - a gall y drws i Ystafell 101 agor ar amrantiad.

Its ideas have become our ideas, and Orwell’s fiction is often said to be our reality. The definitive book of the 20th century is re-examined in a new staging exploring surveillance, identity and how thinking you can fly might actually be the first step to flying.

This major new production explores the world inside Winston Smith’s head, as well as the world without, and catches the euphoria and bliss buried deep underneath the cold face of Big Brother. In an age of mass surveillance, ‘total’ policing and GPS tracking, 1984 is as relevant now as it ever was.

From Headlong, the company who brought us the outstanding Medea last year.

Mae ei syniadau ef wedi dod yn syniadau i ni, a dywedir yn aml mai ffuglen Orwell yw ein realiti ni. Dyma olwg o’r newydd ar y llyfr a ddiffiniodd yr 20fed ganrif mewn cynhyrchiad newydd sy’n edrych ar wyliadwriaeth, hunaniaeth a sut y gall meddwl eich bod yn gallu hedfan fod yn gam gyntaf tuag at hedfan.

Mae’r cynhyrchiad newydd nodedig hwn yn ymchwilio i’r byd sydd ym mhen Winston Smith, yn ogystal â’r byd y tu allan iddo, ac yn crynhoi’r ewfforia a’r gwynfyd sydd wedi’i gladdu’n ddwfn o dan wyneb oeraidd y Brawd Mawr. Mewn oes o wyliadwriaeth, plismona ‘cyflawn’ a thracio GPS, mae 1984 mor berthnasol nawr ag y bu erioed.

Gan Headlong, y cwmni a gyflwynodd y ddrama ragorol Medea i ni y llynedd.

Theatre / Theatr: 1 Production performed in / Iaith y perfformiad: English / Saesneg

It is rare, as a regular theatre-goer in a western country, to see a taboo aired, broken, stamped on and thrown away in the space of a few lusty seconds.

The Financial Times

Time / Amser: 7.30pm

“So many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.”

Step into an upside-down world where familiar things are made strange, with enchanting and horrifying results. Alice in Wonderland is about crossing the threshold between childhood and adulthood, and about the behaviour of one generation seen through the eyes of another.

In true Volcano fashion, plunge with us down the rabbit-hole into a 21st-century asylum adventure, full of ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision.

A welcome return following last year’s sell-out success and another opportunity to see Gareth Miles’ masterful translation of Le Dieu de Carnage by Yasmina Reza.

Yn dilyn llwyddiant ysgubol y cynhyrchiad hwn llynedd dyma gyfle arall i chi weld cyfieithiad meistrolgar Gareth Miles o Le Dieu du Carnage gan Yasmina Reza.

2 mothers + 2 fathers + 2 sons x whisky + tulips + a mobile phone = Carnage!

2 fam, 2 dad, 2 fab × wisgi, tiwlips a ffôn = Llanast!

Two sets of parents meet to discuss their unruly sons. As time goes on however, the civilised veneer soon slips, and carnage ensues!

A comedy of bad manners.

This Christmas we present a new adaptation of the much loved fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, with a twist.

Y Nadolig hwn cyflwynwn addasiad newydd o’r chwedl dylwyth teg boblogaidd, Sleeping Beauty, ond gyda thro annisgwyl.

There once was a Queen and her servant, Rose. Rose had a daughter, Eve, and the Queen had everything except the one thing she most desperately wanted, a child. She would do anything for a child, even make a promise to a witch…

But when the Queen breaks her promise her daughter Dawn is cursed to die on her 15th birthday.

14 years later the two girls, Dawn and Eve, are best friends and would do anything for each other, even if it means sacrificing their world as they fall asleep for a long long time.

Follow Dawn and Eve through their journey of friendship, mishaps and what it means to be ‘beautiful’ when the whole world changes in what you thought was the blink of an eye. Will their friendship survive against the dark forces that now roam the kingdom, not to mention the young prince who seems destined to split them apart?

Join us this Christmas as Rob Evans reinvents the traditional tale for a new generation.

By / Gan: Rob Evans Director / Cyfarwyddwr: Róisín McBrinn

Roedd yna Frenhines a’i morwyn, Rose. Roedd gan Rose ferch o’r enw Eve, ac roedd gan y Frenhines bopeth heblaw yr un peth yr oedd hi eisiau’n fwy na dim arall yn y byd - plentyn.

Fe wnâi hi unrhyw beth i gael plentyn, hyd yn oed gwneud addewid i wrach…

Ond pan mae’r Frenhines yn torri ei haddewid melltithir ei merch, Dawn, i farw ar ei phenblwydd yn 15 oed.

Bedair blynedd ar ddeg yn ddiweddarach mae’r ddwy ferch, Dawn ac Eve, yn ffrindiau pennaf, yn fodlon gwneud unrhyw beth dros y naill a’r llall, hyd yn oed os yw hynny’n golygu aberthu eu byd wrth iddynt syrthio i drwmgwsg am amser maith.

Dilynwch Dawn ac Eve ar eu taith o gyfeillgarwch, anffawd a’r hyn mae’n ei olygu i fod yn ‘brydferth’ pan fydd y byd cyfan yn newid ar amrantiad.

A fydd eu cyfeillgarwch yn goroesi’r grymoedd cyfrin sydd ar led yn y deyrnas, heb sôn am y tywysog ifanc sy’n benderfynol o’u gwahanu?

Ymunwch â ni y Nadolig hwn wrth i Rob Evans ailddyfeisio’r chwedl draddodiadol ar gyfer cenhedlaeth newydd.

Conversation, Charisma and Chance

Sgwrs, Carisma a Ffawd

Production performed in / Iaith y perfformiad: English / Saesneg

Kontakt is a theatrical experiment that blurs the boundary between performer and audience. 20 performers, 20 audience members and 20 bridge tables, each lit by a single overhanging light bulb.

Arbrawf theatrig yw Kontakt sy’n pylu’r ffin rhwng y perfformiwr a’r gynulleidfa. 20 o berfformwyr, 20 aelod o’r gynulleidfa ac 20 o fyrddau bridge, bob un wedi’i oleuo ag un bwlb sy’n hongian uwchben.

What follows is a series of unique one-to-one encounters, which can include conversations, drawing, writing and sometimes dancing.

Yr hyn sy’n dilyn yw cyfres o gysylltiadau un-i-un, sy’n gallu cynnwys sgyrsiau, darlunio, ysgrifennu ac weithiau dawnsio.

“Kontakt is about allowing different generations to have contact with one another in a safe and comfortable environment. How often does an adult sit across from a table with a 15 year old and have a meaningful interaction or conversation? It’s a fascinating project for both the young people and the audience the cast are not playing characters, there is no script and each performance is very different. It really stretches the boundaries of what theatre is and could be in an everchanging world.” Philip Mackenzie, Head of Creative Learning

“Nod Kontakt yw galluogi gwahanol genedlaethau i ddod i gysylltiad â’i gilydd mewn amgylchedd diogel a chyfforddus. Pa mor aml mae oedolyn yn eistedd o amgylch bwrdd gyferbyn â rhywun 15 oed ac yn cael trafodaeth neu sgwrs ystyrlon? Mae’n brosiect difyr i’r bobl ifanc ac i’r gynulleidfa - nid yw’r cast yn chwarae cymeriadau, nid oes sgript ac mae pob perfformiad yn wahanol iawn. Mae’n gwthio’r ffiniau o ran beth yw theatr a beth y gallai fod mewn byd sy’n newid yn barhaus” Phillip Mackenzie, Pennaeth Dysgu Creadigol

Fresh Ink will work with six high schools from Cardiff across the year to deliver six week scriptwriting projects. The young people will write their own short scripts using drama and theatre skills to unlock their creativity.

The participants’ scripts will then be performed script in hand in Theatre 2 by professional actors to an audience of their peers, friends and family.

Mae Fresh Ink yn brosiect cyffrous i ysgolion yn Theatr y Sherman gyda nawdd hael gan yr Equitable Charitable Trust a Loteri FAWR. Bydd Fresh Ink yn gweithio gyda chwe ysgol uwchradd yng Nghaerdydd drwy gydol y flwyddyn i gynnig cyrsiau sgriptio chwe wythnos o hyd.

Bydd y bobl ifanc yn ysgrifennu eu sgriptiau byr eu hunain drwy ddefnyddio sgiliau drama a theatr i ryddhau eu doniau creadigol.

Yna caiff y dramau eu perfformio sgriptmewn-llaw yn Theatr 2 gan actorion proffesiynol i gynulleidfa o’u cyfoedion, eu teuluoedd a’u ffrindiau.

Bydd prosiectau fel ScriptSlam a’n Prosiect Awduron Ifanc yn rhoi cyfle i bobl ysgrifennu ar gyfer y llwyfan am y tro cyntaf erioed ac mae ein cyrsiau i awduron yn helpu dramodwyr i ddatblygu sgiliau allweddol a chwblhau drama fer.

Throughout the year, our Literary and Artistic teams are focussed on discovering and nurturing writers of all levels of experience. We also provide short courses, talks and events. See Sherman Cymru’s website for future events coming up soon.

Drwy gydol y flwyddyn mae ein timau Llenyddol ac Artistig wedi canolbwyntio ar ddarganfod a meithrin awduron, yn amrywio o’r profiadol i’r amhrofiadol. Rydym hefyd yn cynnig cyrsiau byr, sgyrsiau a digwyddiadau. Gweler gwefan Sherman Cymru am ddigwyddiadau sydd i ddod.

young writers’ Group y grŴp awduron ifanc Eight new writers aged between 15 and 23 will join us for our latest Young Writers Group Project.

Bydd wyth o awduron ifanc rhwng 15 a 23 oed wedi ymuno â ni ar gyfer ein Prosiect Awduron Ifanc diweddaraf.

Working closely with playwright Alan Harris the writers will be nurtured, encouraged and mentored to enable them to turn their exciting ideas into engaging scripts and performances in celebration of the Sherman’s 40th birthday.

Gan weithio’n agos â’r dramodydd Alan Harris, caiff yr awduron eu meithrin, eu hannog a’u mentora i’w galluogi i droi eu syniadau cyffrous yn sgriptiau ac yn berfformiadau diddorol i ddathlu penblwydd y Sherman yn ddeugain.

Submissions welcome, for more information please visit our website: shermancymru.co.uk/young-writers

SPREAD THE WORD GAIR AR LED Since September 2011, the Literary team have been tirelessly working with 80 writers from all over Wales on eight courses in both English and Welsh as part of our Spread the Word initiative, bringing playwriting opportunities to your doorstep. This endeavour has now come to an end following two very successful years of supporting budding writers throughout Wales.

With the help of our fantastic partner theatre companies and buildings in each location, writers have completed courses in Caernarfon, Aberystwyth, Milford Haven, Neath, Mold and finally in Blackwood earlier this year.

Ers mis Medi 2011, mae’r tîm llenyddol wedi bod yn gweithio’n ddiflino gydag 80 o awduron o bob cwr o Gymru ar wyth o gyrsiau drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg fel rhan o’n menter Gair ar Led, gan ddod â chyfleoedd sgriptio at garreg eich drws. Mae’r gwaith hwn wedi dod i ben bellach ar ôl dwy flynedd lwyddiannus iawn o gefnogi darpar awduron ledled Cymru.

Gyda chymorth ein partneriaid gwych, cwmnïau theatr ac adeiladau ym mhob lleoliad, mae’r awduron wedi cwblhau cyrsiau yng Nghaernarfon, Aberystwyth, Aberdaugleddau, Castell-nedd, yr Wyddgrug ac yn olaf, yn y Coed Duon yn gynharach eleni.

PLAYTEXTS Dramâu We have published a number of Playtexts to coincide with our productions. These are on sale through our Ticketing and Reception desk, on our website or from the Welsh Books Council.

Rydym yn cyhoeddi nifer o Dramâu i gyd-fynd â’n cynyrchiadau. Mae’r rhain ar werth drwy ein Swyddfa Docynnau a’n Derbynfa, ar ein gwefan neu trwy Gyngor Llyfrau Cymru.

scriptslam Over the course of three days we will be hosting a very special 40-themed edition of ScriptSlam where writers of any level of experience are invited to submit five minute plays which are then performed script-in-hand by professional actors.

After each play is performed a panel of industry experts, including writers, actors and directors, will be on hand to offer their feedback. You, the audience will then get to vote for your favourite.

For more information or to submit a play in English or Welsh please contact Siân Summers: sian.summers@shermancymru.co.uk Dros gyfnod o dri diwrnod, byddwn yn cynnal ScriptSlam arbennig wedi ei hysbrydoli gan y Deugain. Caiff dramâu newydd deng munud eu perfformio sgript-mewn-llaw gan actorion proffesiynol. Wedi pob perfformiad bydd panel o arbenigwyr o’r diwydiant, gan gynnwys awduron, actorion a chyfarwyddwr, wrth law i roi adborth. Yna byddwch chi, y gynulleidfa, yn cael cyfle i bleidleisio dros eich ffefryn.

I gael rhagor o wybodaeth neu i gyflwyno drama yn Gymraeg neu Saesneg cysylltwch â Siân Summers: sian.summers@shermancymru.co.uk

Paul Mckay ScriptSlam writer Awdur ScriptSlam For me, ScriptSlam provided a fantastic opportunity to try out new work in front of a live audience and get an immediate response to it. The cast performances breathe life into what was once just words on a page. I can see what dialogue works and what doesn’t and from that, refine my work further.

I mi, mae ScriptSlam wedi bod yn gyfle gwych i roi cynnig ar waith newydd o flaen cynulleidfa fyw a chael ymateb ar unwaith iddo. Mae’r perfformiadau cast wedi rhoi bywyd i mewn i’r hyn oedd ar un adeg dim ond geiriau sy’n gweithio a’r hyn nad yw’n ac o hynny, mireinio y gwaith pellach.

Your Foyer Eich Cyntedd Chi When you’re next in to catch a show, or just in the area, pop in to our café bar. Whether for a pre (or post!) performance drink or a coffee and cake at lunchtime we’ve got just the thing for you.

Y tro nesaf y dewch i weld sioe, neu ry’ch chi yn y cyffiniau, galwch i mewn i’n caffi bar. Os am lymaid cyn (neu ar ôl!) perfformiad neu baned a theisen amser cinio, mae gennym y lle delfrydol i chi.

Offering free WiFi and a sociable, welcoming atmosphere our foyer and café bar presents the ideal location to host your meeting, a catch-up with friends or to just sit and people-watch!

Gydag amgylchedd cymdeithasol a chroesawgar, a WiFi am ddim, mae ein caffi bar yn lleoliad delfrydol i gynnal cyfarfod, sgwrsio â hen ffrindiau neu eistedd a gwylio’r byd yn mynd heibio!

On nights when we don’t have performances there is a good chance we will have an event on in our foyer. Over the past year our free Foyer Sessions have gone from strength to strength.

These evenings are an opportunity to meet with friends, have a drink and enjoy some of the best music Cardiff and the local area has to offer all within the welcoming atmosphere of our foyer.

Ar nosweithiau lle nad oes perfformiadau, mae siawns dda y bydd digwyddiad yn y cyntedd. Yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, mae Sesiynau’r Cyntedd, sydd am ddim, wedi mynd o nerth i nerth. Mae’r nosweithiau hyn yn gyfle i gwrdd â ffrindiau, cael llymaid a mwynhau’r gerddoriaeth orau o Gaerdydd a’r cyffiniau yn amgylchedd croesawgar ein cyntedd.

For more information on forthcoming Foyer Sessions please visit our website and sign up to receive our music emails.

Alternatively, if you are a musician looking to perform please contact Ceri-ann Williams: ceriann.williams@shermancymru.co.uk
