Since February 2010 Sherman Cymru’s theatre in Cardiff has been closed for a major redevelopment. To celebrate the reopening of our two theatres, our new, welcoming foyer and café bar, and all the improvements we’ve made backstage, we’re having a bit of a do. Join us from 10am on Saturday 4 February at our Open House. There’ll be tours of the theatre, family activities ranging from workshops to storytelling, and a chance to see the revamped backstage and workshop areas. The café bar will be open for drinks and light meals and in the evening, from 7pm, you can enjoy free live music. Please do come along and help us settle in. And make sure you introduce us to your family and friends – especially anyone who’s never been before. We’ve put together a reopening season of the very best theatre, dance, family shows and music from Wales and the rest of the world. We hope you’ll agree that it’s a great welcome home.
You can find more information about exactly what will be happening on the day at:

“That is the story of our beginning. And this is the story of… the end.” All relationships have their ups and downs; the optimism of youth becomes the wisdom of experience. Lovesong intertwines a couple in their twenties with the same man and woman a lifetime later. Their past and present selves collide in this haunting and beautiful tale of togetherness. Acclaimed writer Abi Morgan, whose television credits include The Hour and Sex Traffic, joins forces with the highly adventurous and dynamic Frantic Assembly. Starring Sherman Cymru Patron, Siân Phillips.
Nid yw llwybr perthynas yn hawdd o hyd, ac mae gobeithion ieuenctid yn troi’n ddoethineb profiad. Mae Lovesong yn cyfuno cwpwl yn eu hugeiniau â’r un cwpwl oes yn ddiweddarach, gyda’r gorffennol a’r presennol yn gwrthdaro yn y stori hiraethus, hyfryd yma. Mae’r awdur adnabyddus Abi Morgan – mae ei gwaith teledu’n cynnwys The Hour a Sex Traffic – yn ymuno â’r cwmni hynod anturus a deinamig hwn, Frantic Assembly. Siân Phillips, Noddwr Sherman Cymru, yw seren y sioe hon.

Dancer, film director and choreographer Blanca Li takes the urban street-dance style electro, a dazzling mix of breaking, disco, vogue, popping and locking straight off the streets of Paris and mixes it up with some theatre and an amazing soundtrack to give you Elektro Kif.
Yn Elektro Kif mae Blanca Li, dawnsiwr, cyfarwyddwr ffilm a choreograffydd, wedi dod ag electro – cymysgedd syfrdanol o ddawnsio brêc, disgo, vogue, 'popping and locking' – yn syth o strydoedd Paris, ac wedi cyfuno ychydig o theatr a thrac sain syfrdanol.
It’s a show about hopes and fears, friendships, fights and rivalries with an all-male cast of eight exceptional young electro dancers. Funny, fast, colourful and anarchic, it also features a specially composed soundtrack which mixes techno, electro house, afrobeat, sampling and classical music. Totally exhilarating.
Dyma sioe am obaith, am ofnau, am gyfeillgarwch, am ymladd ac am gystadlu, gyda chast o wyth o ddawnswyr arbennig iawn, oll yn ddynion. Mae’n ddarn doniol, cyflym, lliwgar ac anarchaidd, ac mae'n cynnwys sain a gyfansoddwyd yn arbennig sydd hefyd yn gymysgedd o 'techno', 'electro house', 'afrobeat', 'sampling' a cherddoriaeth glasurol. Cwbl wefreiddiol.

Critics' Choice Time out Evening standard The Financial Times
From multi-award winning Welsh playwright Tim Price, this highly acclaimed drama was inspired by a week spent in a Welsh Borders market town and the young people he met there. Life, love and loss in a picture postcard town are laid bare in this heartbreaking but darkly comic new play. Through a series of intertwining accounts, For Once cuts to the heart of a family, and a community, turned upside down by tragedy.
Ysbrydolwyd Tim Price, awdur Cymreig sydd wedi ennill sawl gwobr am ei waith, i ysgrifennu’r ddrama lwyddiannus yma wedi iddo dreulio wythnos mewn tref farchnad ar y Gororau, a chwrdd â’r bobl ifanc sy’n byw yno. Mewn tref ymddangosiadol berffaith mae bywyd, cariad a cholled yn cael eu dinoethi yn y ddrama ddoniol, dywyll yma. Drwy gyfrwng cyfres o hanesion sy’n plethu â’u gilydd, mae For Once yn mynd yn syth at galon teulu a chymuned sydd, yn sgil trasiedi, wedi eu troi wyneb i waered.

" Mae Peter Gill yn feistr ar y grefft o greu theatr. ‘Roedd cyfuno ei dalentau ef gyda Chekhov a dawn greadigol National Theatre Wales yn amhosib ei wrthod, felly ‘rwyf wrth fy modd fod A Provincial Life yn ganolog i’n tymor agoriadol newydd."

“ Some people never get crazy. What boring awful lives they must lead.” Charles Bukowski A huge sell-out success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2009, Barflies takes a look at the pains and glories of drunkenness and all the humour, horror, hope and devastation it can bring. Drawn from the short stories and poems of cult American writer Charles Bukowski, Barflies is a rumbustious encounter with his alter-ego Henry Chinaski and a bevvy of the women who shaped his life and work.
‘Roedd Barflies yn llwyddiant ysgubol yng Ngŵyl Ymylol Caeredin 2009, ac ynddi ceir golwg ddwys ar ofidiau a gogoniannau meddwdod, a’r hiwmor, yr arswyd, y gobaith a’r dinistr all ddod yn ei sgil. Mae Barflies yn seiliedig ar straeon byrion a cherddi’r awdur cwlt Americanaidd, Charles Bukowski, ac yn y ddrama fe’i gwelir yn cwrdd â’i ‘hunan arall’, Henry Chinaski, yn ogystal â’r menywod sydd wedi dylanwadu ar ei waith.
Multi-award winning company Grid Iron are renowned for staging theatre in unexpected and unusual locations. Barflies is Grid Iron’s first visit to Wales and performances will take place at The Vulcan Hotel in the city centre.
Mae cwmni Grid Iron wedi ennill sawl gwobr, ac maent yn adnabyddus am lwyfannu eu cynyrchiadau mewn lleoliadau anghyffredin. Barflies yw ymweliad gyntaf Grid Iron â Chymru, ac fe’i perfformir yng Ngwesty'r Vulcan yng nghanol y ddinas.

A Doll's House Clwyd Theatr Cymru By / Gan: Henrik Ibsen A new version by / Fersiwn newydd gan: Frank McGuinness 7.30pm 4 April/ Ebrill: 1.30pm Matinee Theatre / Theatr 2 £15 Concessions / Gostyngiadau: £2 off / i ffwrdd Under 25s / Dan 25: Half Price / Hanner Pris Director / Cyfarwyddwr: Emma Lucia Designer / Cynllunydd: Max Jones
" I must stand on my own if I'm to make sense of myself and everything around me." Nora is blissfully in love with her lawyer husband, Torvald. Charming, unworldly and cosseted, she is his plaything. On the surface their marriage is idyllic... Written in the 1870s, A Doll's House is a landmark drama which shocked audiences with its radical portrayal of a modern woman's journey towards self-awareness and independence.
Mae Nora mewn cariad dros ei phen a’i chlustau gyda’i gŵr, Torvald, sy’n gyfreithiwr. Yn ddymunol, diniwed ac anwesog, hi yw ei degan. Ar yr wyneb, mae eu priodas yn un delfrydol... Ysgrifennwyd A Doll's House yn y 1870au ac mae’n garreg filltir ym myd y ddrama. Syfrdanwyd y gynulleidfa gan ei phortread radical o siwrnai un wraig fodern tuag at hunanymwybyddiaeth ac annibyniaeth.

Barber uses a vast range of instruments… to create an evocative soundscape that mirrors the exotic costumes and Salomé's erotic allure. The Guardian Photo / Llun: Farrows Creative
Opulent, extravagant and decadent – an all too rare screening of the 1923 silent film Salomé, complete with live music by Cardiff-based composer Charlie Barber.
Ysblennydd ac eithafol – dangosiad prin o’r clasur o 1923, Salomé. Cyflwynir y film fud yma i gyfeiliant cerddoriaeth fyw gan y cyfansoddwr o Gaerdydd Charlie Barber.
This classic film is a visual feast furnished by lavish designs inspired by artist Aubrey Beardsley, and an unforgettable title role performance by the flamboyant Hollywood silent film star Alla Nazimova.
Mae’r clasur hon yn wledd i’r llygad, yn gyforiog o gynlluniau godidog a ysbrydolwyd gan yr artist Aubrey Beardsley, a pherfformiad bythgofiadwy gan un o sêr disgleiriaf ffilmiau mud Hollywood, Alla Nazimova.
Inspired by traditional Arabic ensembles, Charlie Barber’s new score is equally dramatic. Performed by musicians playing from two towers flanking each side of the giant silver screen, this is a riveting blend of music and spectacle unlike anything else.
Mae sgôr newydd Charlie Barber, a ysbrydolwyd gan ensembles Arabaidd traddodiadol, yr un mor ddramatig. Perfformir y gwaith gan gerddorion fydd yn chwarae o ben dau dŵr a osodir bob ochr i’r sgrin anferth. Bydd y cyfuniad hwn o ffilm a cherddoriaeth yn wledd, ac yn sicr o hoelio’ch sylw.

The family's only daughter, Anni Harri-Parri, is off to the bright lights of London and you are invited to help send her off in style. The Harri-Parris: The Leaving Do is a thoroughly entertaining evening of comedy, drama and song that takes a warm and witty look at the ups and downs of living in rural West Wales.

A WORD FROM / GAIR ODDI WRTH Gwyneth Lewis Writer / Awdur " Clytemnestra's about the fundamentals: food, sex, power and death. What more could a writer want? It's been wonderful to inhabit the stark mythic world of the Greek plays. I thought that working on Greek mythology would be depressing, but it's the opposite: they make the mind fly with terror and exhilaration." " Mae Clytemnestra'n mynd i’r afael â holl hanfodion bywyd: bwyd, rhyw, pŵer a marwolaeth. Beth well i awdur? Mae wedi bod yn brofiad gwych cael ymgolli am gyfnod ym myd mytholegol y dramâu Groegaidd. ‘Ro’n i’n ofni byddai gweithio ar chwedloniaeth Groeg yn brofiad digalon, ond i’r gwrthwyneb: mae’n peri i’r meddwl hedfan mewn arswyd a gorfoledd."

" When we've killed all the animals Men will be next." Oil has run out and the world fights for food. To save his people, Agamemnon sacrifices his daughter to his barbaric new allies. With the fury of a mother betrayed, Clytemnestra waits for his return. What will she do for justice? Adultery, power and revenge drive this new telling of an epic Greek legend. A major new production from Sherman Cymru, Clytemnestra combines the dramatic story-telling of the former National Poet of Wales, Gwyneth Lewis, with the bold direction of Amy Hodge (Measure for Measure).
Mae’r olew wedi darfod, ac mae’r byd yn ymladd am fwyd. I achub ei bobl, mae Agamemnon yn aberthu ei ferch i’w gynghreiriaid barbaraidd. Mae Clytemnestra, y fam a gafodd ei bradychu, yn llawn cynddaredd ac yn aros iddo ddychwelyd. Sut mae cael cyfiawnder? Godineb, pŵer a dialedd sy’n gyrru’r addasiad newydd hwn o’r chwedl epig Roegaidd. Mae Clytemnestra yn gynhyrchiad newydd o bwys gan Sherman Cymru, ac yn cyfuno dawn storïo dramatig cyn Fardd Cenedlaethol Cymru, Gwyneth Lewis, gyda chyfarwyddo celfydd Amy Hodge (Measure for Measure).

Welcome to Minsk – the sexiest city in the world!
Croeso i Minsk – dinas fwyaf rhywiol y byd!
In Belarus people bear the scars of repression all over their body. Gay Pride marches are brutally suppressed. Underground nightclubs are routinely raided by special forces. If scars are sexy then Minsk must be the sexiest city in the world.
Mae creithiau gormes wedi gadael eu hôl ar gyrff pobl Belarus. Mae’r gorymdeithiau ‘Gay Pride’ yn cael eu rhwystro yn y modd mwyaf creulon. Mae’r lluoedd arbennig yn dinistrio’r clybiau nos tanddaearol yn rheolaidd. Os yw creithiau’n rhywiol, yna mae’n rhaid mai Minsk yw dinas fwyaf rhywiol y byd.
A lament for a city that has lost its way, for a beloved home that has turned ugly, for a people who cannot express themselves. Belarus Free Theatre was founded in 2005 in Europe’s last surviving dictatorship. Under impossible conditions the company continue to produce great theatre that is recognised internationally.
Galarnad am ddinas sydd ar goll, am gartref sydd erbyn hyn yn wrthun, am bobl sy’n ei chael yn amhosib mynegi eu hunain. Sefydlwyd Theatr Rydd Belarus yn 2005, yn unbenniaeth olaf Ewrop. Dan amgylchiadau amhosib mae’r cwmni’n parhau i gynhyrchu theatr sy’n derbyn cydnabyddiaeth ryngwladol.

the uk's cleverest, most entertaining dance company... seriously beautiful choreography Time out (Town and Country)
brilliant and hilarious The guardian (spitfire)
As part of the company's 25th anniversary celebrations, Matthew Bourne (Swan Lake, Nutcracker!, Cinderella, Edward Scissorhands, The Car Man) returns to his roots in a programme of early pieces that launched the career of Britain's favourite choreographer. Spitfire – ‘An advertisement divertissement’ – was Matthew Bourne’s first hit in 1988. It hilariously places the most famous 19th Century ballet showstopper in the world of men’s underwear advertising. Town and Country from 1991 gave Bourne and his company their first Olivier nomination. Remembered as the piece that crystallized the Bourne style; gloriously witty and ironic, but also strangely moving and heartfelt. The Infernal Galop was inspired by icons of France in the thirties and forties. This is France as seen by the uptight English imagination, with all the traditional clichés joyously paraded for our entertainment and climaxing in Offenbach's inevitable Can-Can.
Fel rhan o ddathliadau 25 mlwydd y cwmni, dyma Matthew Bourne (Swan Lake, Nutcracker!, Cinderella, Edward Scissorhands, The Car Man) yn dychwelyd i'w wreiddiau gyda rhaglen o waith fu’n gyfrifol am lansio gyrfa hoff goreograffydd Prydain. Spitfire – ‘An advertisement divertissement’ – oedd llwyddiant cyntaf Matthew Bourne yn 1988. Mae’n gosod un o ddarnau bale enwocaf y 19eg Ganrif yng nghanol byd hysbysebu dillad isaf dynion, mewn modd doniol tu hwnt. Yn sgil Town and Country enwebwyd Bourne a’i gwmni am y tro cyntaf yn 1991 am wobr Olivier. Mae’r darn hwn yn adnabyddus am grisialu dull neilltuol Bourne o weithio – ffraeth, eironig, diffuant, gwefreiddiol. Ysbrydolwyd The Infernal Galop gan eiconau Ffrengig y tridegau a’r pedwardegau. Portreadir Ffrainc drwy ddychymyg sidêt y Sais, ac mae’n cynnwys yr holl ystrydebau traddodiadol, gan orffen, wrth gwrs, gyda Can-Can Offenbach.

Break-dancing and hip-hop fuse with a Chinese pole, trampolines and impressive aerial feats as Finnish trio Petri, Rauli and Kalle bring their wild physicality to this daring performance. Petri is a martial arts enthusiast, Rauli specialises in trampoline acrobatics and Kalle is a champion break-dancer. Together, on a stage littered with garage debris, they will create a theatrical riot.

Behind the scenes at Sherman Cymru there's a team of people helping writers to develop their work and produce the very best new plays from Wales. Projects like ScriptSlam (see page 12) and our Young Writers' Course give people an opportunity to write for the stage for the first time, whilst more experienced writers can join our Advanced Writers’ Programme. Throughout the year, our Literary Team is focused on discovering and nurturing new voices with a variety of writers’ courses, masterclasses and talks. Following the success of these in Cardiff, the programme has been extended across Wales as part of the exciting Spread the Word initiative. Y tu ôl i’r llenni yn Sherman Cymru mae tîm o bobl yn helpu awduron i ddatblygu eu gwaith ac i gynhyrchu’r dramâu gorau posib o Gymru. Mae prosiectau fel SgriptSlam (gwelwch dudalen 12), a’n Cwrs Awduron Ifanc yn rhoi cyfle i bobl ysgrifennu ar gyfer y llwyfan am y tro cyntaf, tra bod cyfle gan awduron mwy profiadol i ymuno yn ein Rhaglen Awduron Uwch. Drwy gydol y flwyddyn mae ein Tîm Llenyddol yn canolbwyntio ar ddarganfod a meithrin lleisiau newydd drwy gyfrwng amrywiaeth o gyrsiau i awduron, dosbarthiadau meistr a sgyrsiau. Yn dilyn llwyddiant y rhain yng Nghaerdydd, mae’r rhaglen wedi ymestyn ledled Cymru fel rhan o fenter gyffrous Gair ar Led.
NEIL BEBBER WRITER / AWDUR " Sherman Cymru gave me my first writing opportunity. I'd always had an urge to write but didn't know where to start. Being accepted for and then going on to win ScriptSlam in 2009 proved to be something of a catalyst. I've been writing non-stop ever since, making the most of the writers' training courses I've been invited to attend." " Gan Sherman Cymru gefais i’r cyfle cyntaf i ysgrifennu. ‘Roedd gen i ysfa i ysgrifennu erioed ond heb syniad ble i ddechrau. Mae’r ffaith i mi gael fy nerbyn ac yna ennill SgriptSlam yn 2009 wedi profi’n gatalydd o fath. ‘Rwyf wedi bod yn ysgrifennu’n ddi-baid ers hynny, gan wneud y gorau o’r cyrsiau hyfforddi awduron ‘rwyf wedi fy ngwahodd i’w mynychu."
