BRIG aims to discover the next leading Welsh Language playwright and provide a platform for their work at the Sherman and on a national level at the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol. TAITH is our bilingual initiative to develop and nurture new and emerging writers.
Mae Theatr y Sherman yn dŷ cynhyrchu blaenllaw, ac yn un o sefydliadau celfyddydol pwysicaf Cymru.
Mae’r Rhaglen Dramodwyr Cymreig Newydd yn gyfle i sgwennwyr ddatblygu eu crefft dan arweiniad profiadol Brad Birch. Mae’r cynllun hefyd yn cynnwys gwobr Richard Carne o £1000.
Wrth i ni fynd ati i lunio rhaglen artistig uchelgeisiol a chofiadwy, rydyn ni’n meddwl ehangu ein tîm o wirfoddolwyr er mwyn sicrhau’r profiad gorau i’n cynulleidfaoedd.
Mae BRIG wedi ei sefydlu i ddarganfod y sgwennwr nesaf mwyaf blaengar yn yr iaith Gymraeg, yn ogystal a chynnig platfform i’w gwaith yn y Sherman ac ar lefel genedlaethol yn yr Eisteddfod.
Beth bynnag fo’ch oed neu’ch cefndir, os ydych am gymryd rhan, bydden ni’n hynod falch cyfarfod â chi.
TAITH yw ein cynllun dwyieithog i ddatblygu a meithrin sgwennwyr newydd sydd yn dod i’r amlwg.

With her father banished and exiled, Rosalind and her cousin Celia, escape the city and run away to the magical Forest of Arden. Disguised as a boy Rosalind counsels Orlando in the art of love. They fall spectacularly head over heels. As You Like It features some of Shakespeare’s favourite lovers, fools and philosophers in this cross-dressing comedy of love and transformation. Gyda’i thad wedi’i alltudio, mae Rosalind a Celia yn dianc o’r ddinas ac yn rhedeg i ffwrdd i Goedwig hudol Arden. Wedi’i gwisgo fel bachgen, mae Rosalind yn cynghori Orlando ynglyn â’r grefft o gariad. Maent yn cwympo dros eu pennau a’u clustiau mewn cariad. Mae As You Like It yn cynnwys rhai o hoff gariadon, ffyliaid ac athronwyr Shakespeare yn y gomedi trawswisgo hon am gariad a gweddnewidiad.

LEGENDS
26 June / Mehefin, 2.30pm 27 & 28 June / Mehefin, 7.15pm By Giuseppe Verdi Conductor / Arweinydd Carlo Rizzi Director / Cyfarwyddwr Martin Constantine Verdi’s final opera explores Shakespeare’s beloved Sir John Falstaff’s greed-driven schemes to woo married women for their fortunes. An ill-advised adventure that comes humorously crashing down around him. Mae opera olaf Verdi yn archwilio ymdrechion barus Sir John Falstaff, cymeriad hoffus Shakespeare, i ennill calon menywod priod a’u ffortiwn. Dyma antur annoeth sy’n dod yn ôl i ddial arno.
