A comedy about growing up and manning up from critically acclaimed writer Luke Norris.

Mae Tobes yn ifanc, yn rhydd ac yn cael hwyl di bendraw. Mae wedi llwyddo i anwybyddu’r lwmp yn llwyddiannus ers dwy flynedd, ond nawr mae’n effeithio ar ei fywyd carwriaethol. Felly nawr mae ‘na drôns i’w gollwng, a phenderfyniadau i’w gwneud… mae’n boen go iawn yn y ceilliau.

PUPPET STATE THEATRE COMPANY

JRR TOLKEIN’S ‘LEAF BY NIGGLE’ Niggle is a painter. Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other things to do. For some time he has been obsessed with one particular canvas: a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. Surrounded by ladders, bicycles and heirlooms, Richard Medrington recounts Tolkien’s miniature masterpiece, with a soundtrack by Karine Polwart and MJ McCarthy.

Mae Niggle yn baentiwr. Dyw e ddim yn llwyddiannus iawn, yn rhannol gan fod ganddo gymaint o bethau eraill i’w gwneud. Ers peth amser mae obsesiwn wedi bod ganddo â un cynfas yn arbennig: llun hynod gyda choeden o fewn tirwedd eang yn ymledu o’i ôl. Dyw e ddim eisiau mynd, ond all e ddim dianc...Wedi ei amgylchynu gan ysgolion, beiciau a darnau wedi eu hetifeddu, mae Richard Medrington yn dwyn i gof campwaith bychan Tolkien, ac yn gwneud hynny i gyfeiliant trac sain gan Karine Polwart ac MJ McCarthy.

THE YOUNG’UNS STRANGERS ALBUM TOUR

With their uplifting voices, powerful songs, spine tingling harmonies and raucous humour, Glastonbury favourites The Young’uns are at the forefront of the English folk scene.

Their eagerly anticipated new album, Strangers, is released on Sep 29. It is a collection of folk songs for our times, an homage to the outsider, a eulogy for the wayfarer and a hymn for the migrant.

Mae The Young’uns ar flaen y gad y sin werin yn Lloegr ac yn dod â’u doniau lleisiol, harmonïau cyfareddol a hiwmor agos at yr asgwrn.

Caiff eu halbwm hir-ddisgwyliedig newydd, Strangers, ei ryddhau ar Fedi’r 29; sef casgliad o ganeuon gwerin ar gyfer ein hoes, gwrogaeth i’r rhai ar y cyrion, marwnad i’r fforddolyn ac emyn i’r mudwr.

THE WORLD’S WIFE

We do our best, We Queens, we mothers, Mothers of Queens That saying? Behind every famous man...?

From Mrs Darwin to Queen Kong, Carol Ann Duffy’s The World’s Wife is a poetry collection that takes a swipe at the famous men of history and myth from their spouses’ perspectives. Composer Tom Green has transformed these firework poems into a 21st century opera for solo soprano, string quartet and loop pedals. Join us for the debut of a radical new operatic voice, as five musicians construct disembodied choirs and armies of string quartets to tell a story we all share.

Produced by Welsh National Opera, Taliesin Arts Centre, Echo Forest and The Mavron Quartet.

O Mrs Darwin i Frenhines Kong, mae casgliad Carol Ann Duffy The World’s Wife o farddoniaeth yn taro llinyn mesur dros ddynion enwog hanes a chwedl o safbwynt eu gwragedd. Mae’r cyfansoddwr Tom Green wedi trawsnewid y cerddi tanlli hyn yn opera ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain ar gyfer unawdydd soprano, pedwarawd llinynnol a phedalau cylch. Ymunwch â ni ar gyfer perfformiad cyntaf llais operatig radical newydd, wrth i bump cerddor ail-greu corau digorffolaeth a byddinoedd o bedwarawdau llinynnol er mwyn adrodd stori yr ydym ni i gyd yn ei rhannu.

Cynhyrchiad gan y Cwmni Opera Cenedlaethol, Canolfan Gelfyddydol Taliesin, Echo Forest a Phedwarawd Mavron.

ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS

A deliriously funny, brand new version of the West End and Broadway smash-hit comedy.

Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe Crabbe, a small time East End hood…But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as her own dead brother, who has been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers!

Francis takes a second job with one Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be reunited with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.

Fersiwn newydd sbon eithriadol ddoniol o’r comedi a enillodd y fath glod yn y West End a Broadway. Daw Francis Henshall yn ofalwr i Roscoe Crabbe, dihiryn bychan o’r East End …ond go iawn Roscoe yw ei chwaer Rachel sy’n esgus mai hi yw ei brawd ei hun, sydd wedi marw, ac wedi ei ladd gan ei chariad Stanley Stubbers!

Derbynia Francis ail swydd gyda Stanley Stubbers, sy’n cuddio rhag yr heddlu ac yn aros i gael ail-ymuno â Rachel. Er mwyn osgoi cael ei ddarganfod, rhaid i Francis gadw ei ddau ‘guvnor’ ar wahân. Hawdd.

Poprishchin is a low ranking civil servant for the Government, struggling to make his mark on life, but one day he makes an amazing discovery. Could he really be the next King of Spain?

Driven insane by government bureaucracy and hierarchy, Gogol’s dark comedy exposes one man’s reality spiralling deeper into a surreal fantasy world. Performed by awardwinning actor, Robert Bowman and directed by Olivier Award nominee Sinéad Rushe.

Mae Poprishchin yn was sifil distadl ar gyfer y llywodraeth, yn ymdrechu i adael ei farc ar fywyd, ond un diwrnod mae’n gwneud darganfyddiad rhyfeddol. Ai ef mewn difri sydd am fod yn frenin nesaf Sbaen?

Wedi ei yrru’n wallgo’ gan fiwrocratiaeth natur hierarchaidd y llywodraeth, mae comedi tywyll Gogol yn taflu goleuni ar daith un dyn o realiti i ddyfnderoedd byd ffantasi swreal. Wedi ei berfformio gan yr actor aml ei wobrau, Robert Bowman a’i gyfarwyddo gan yr enwebai ar gyfer Gwobr Olivier Sinéad Rushe.

Worried about your job? Worried about your family?

Worried about yourself? Worried about the health service? Education? Climate change? World War 3? Sod it! Come and have a laugh about it. It’s one of the things we do best. Or is it? Was it something we did best but like everything else has now gone West. Or South. Or East. Ah - go on. Take a risk. Put on your lucky pants and your party shoes – and get yourself on a night out.

Or maybe come out dressed in a binbag, top hat and clogs. We could all use a laugh.

As seen on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, Q.I. etc. and repeated on Dave.

Yn poeni am eich swydd? Yn poeni am eich teulu? Yn poeni amdanoch eich hunain? Yn poeni am y Gwasanaeth Iechyd?

THE NUTCRACKER

MUSIC BY | CERDDORIAETH GAN PYOTR I. TCHAIKOVSKY

A nutcracker who may just be a handsome prince in disguise...Prepare to enter a magical world.

Featuring Tchaikovsky’s timeless score, The Nutcracker is a certified classic, having captured the imagination of many generations.

Full of mystery and romance, it continues to attract audiences worldwide.

The Christmas story is based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, by E.T.A. Hoffmann. It tells the story of Marie, a rather sad little girl, whose godfather Drosselmeier gives her a Nutcracker doll as a present on Christmas Eve… When midnight strikes, the world turns magical in the wintry glitter of Christmas Eve. Toys come alive, the Mouse-king and his mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker Prince and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place where the magic really begins….

This is the ultimate fairy tale, where goodness and beauty triumph.

Torrwr cnau a allai fod yn dywysog mewn cuddwisg...

Paratowch i gael mynediad i fyd hudol.

Yn cynnwys sgôr cerddorol Tchaikovsky, mae The Nutcracker yn glasur o’r iawn ryw, o fod wedi dal dychymyg sawl cenhedlaeth o gynulleidfaoedd. Yn llawn dirgelwch a rhamant, mae’n parhau i ddenu cynulleidfaoedd ledled y byd.

7.30PM £19.50 / £18 / £15 (UNDER 16 | DAN 16 MLWYDD)

Mae’r stori Nadolig yn seiliedig ar The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, gan E.T.A. Hoffmann. Mae’n adrodd stori Marie, merch fach drist braidd, y mae ei thad bedydd Drosselmeier yn rhoi dol Dorri Cnau iddi fel anrheg ar Noswyl Nadolig …

Pan fo’r cloc yn taro canol nos try’r byd yn lle hudol yn nisgleirdeb gaeafol Noswyl Nadolig. Daw teganau yn fyw, mae Brenin y Llygod a’i fyddin o lygod yn brwydro gyda Thywysog y Torrwyr Cnau ac awn ar daith trwy Wlad yr Eira i le hudol lle bo’r lledrith yn digwydd go iawn ….

Dyma’r chwedl tylwyth teg pennaf, lle bo daioni a phrydferthwch yn fuddugol. /russiannationalopera #TheNutcrakcer TICKETS | TOCYNNAU brycheiniog.co.uk

But when Billy bumps into some hungry wolves in the forest, New Year’s Day seems a long way off. How will Billy escape? And has he been naughty or nice?

Toe-tapping songs and lots of laughs for everyone from the company that brought you The Gruffalo and The Snail and the Whale.

LITTLE WOLF

A young boy mysteriously disappears, forcing his parents to confront the truth of their marriage.

An intense, surreal and honest exploration of a couple facing their ultimate fear. A present day retelling of Ibsen’s classic Little Eyolf from award-winning writer and director Simon Harris.

Vital, raw and blisteringly funny.
