THEATR PENA
WOMAN OF FLOWERS Based on the ancient Mabinogi legend of Blodeuwedd, Woman of Flowers is the first co-production between Theatr Pena and Taliesin Arts Centre. Award-winning Welsh writer, Siôn Eirian, skilfully combines Saunders Lewis’s Welsh language verse drama of the same name with original material, to create a new version of this ancient tale of love, betrayal and retribution. Theatr Pena’s dynamic production of the ancient myth of the woman created from wild flowers is a rare chance to experience something of the earliest prose literature of Britain, the poetry of Saunders Lewis and the craft of a contemporary Welsh dramatist.
Yn seiliedig ar chwedl Blodeuwedd o’r Mabinogi, Woman of Flowers yw’r cyd-gynhyrchiad cyntaf rhwng Theatr Pena a Chanolfan Gelfyddydau Taliesin. Mae’r dramodydd dawnus, Siôn Eirian, yn plethu’n grefftus ddrama fydryddol Saunders Lewis â deunydd gwreiddiol i greu fersiwn newydd o’r hen chwedl am gariad, brad a dial. Dyma gyfle prin i brofi rhywfaint o ryddiaith lenyddol gynharaf Prydain yng nghynhyrchiad deinamig Theatr Pena o’r chwedl hynafol am ferch a grëwyd o flodau gwylltion, ochr yn ochr â barddoniaeth Saunders Lewis a chrefft dramodydd cyfoes Cymreig.

TERRA FIRMA
Terra Firma tells stories drawn from the very ground on which we build our communities. NDCWales will perform three unique pieces:
Mae Terra Firma yn adrodd straeon wedi eu codi o’r union dir yr ydym yn adeiladu ein cymunedau arno. Bydd NDCWales yn perfformio tair darnau unigryw:
Folk is a vintage fairytale, set in a rich fantastical world under the boughs of an upside-down tree, as darkly whimsical as it is enchanting.
Stori dylwyth deg glasurol yw Folk, wedi ei gosod mewn byd ffantasïol cyfoethog o dan ganghennau coeden ben i waered, sydd yr un mor dywyll ryfeddol ac yw hi’n hudolus.
Tundra is a barren landscape where ultra-modern creativity blinks into life and tears pages from Russian folk dance and revolution.
Tirwedd ddiffaith yw Tundra lle mae creadigedd hynod fodern yn dod yn fyw ac yn rhwygo tudalennau o ddawnsfeydd gwerin a chwyldro Rwsiaidd.
Atalaÿ is a watch tower from which far off lands can be seen from four points; a contagious dance influenced by the warmth of the Mediterranean.
Tŵr gwylio yw Atalaÿ y mae modd gweld tiroedd pell i ffwrdd ohono o bedwar pwynt; dawns hudolus a ddylanwadir gan gynhesrwydd Môr y Canoldir.

THE WOOD
A brand new play, written to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War I, and inspired by a true story. Dan and Billy, two young soldiers of the 38th Welsh Division, forge a friendship in the build-up to the infamous Battle of the Somme. When Billy is killed in Mametz Wood, he leaves behind a heart-broken, pregnant wife. Altered by his experiences of war, Dan returns home to step into his friend’s shoes, ultimately marrying Billy’s widow and raising their baby son as his own. Fifty years later, in a clearing in the wood, Dan returns to lay a ghost to rest. Written by Owen Thomas (writer of award winning Grav) Directed by Peter Doran (Winner of Best Director, Wales Theatre Awards 2017) Based on an idea by Ifan Huw Dafydd Drama newydd sbon, a gyfansoddwyd i gofio canmlwyddiant diwedd y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, a ysbrydolwyd gan stori wir. Mae Dan a Billy, dau filwr ifanc o’r 38ain Rhaniad Cymreig, yn dod yn ffrindiau yn y cyfnod sy’n arwain at frwydr enwog y Somme. Pan leddir Billy yng Nghoedwig Mametz, mae’n gadael gweddw feichiog â’i chalon wedi’i thorri. Â phrofiadau rhyfel wedi’i newid am byth, daw Dan adref i gamu i esgidiau’i ffrind, gan briodi gweddw Billy yn y pen draw a magu’u babi fel tad. Hanner canrif yn ddiweddarach, mewn cilfach yn y goedwig, dychwela Dan i gladdu ysbryd unwaith ac am byth. Cyfansoddwyd gan Owen Thomas (awdur o fri Grav) Cyfarwyddwyd gan Peter Doran (enillydd y Cyfarwyddwr Gorau, Gwobrau Theatr Cymru 2017) Seiliwyd ar syniad gan Ifan Huw Dafydd 7.30pm £12 / £10

DAVID STARKEY
HENRY VIII: THE FIRST BREXITEER? Henry VIII, like a colossus, bestrides the history of our country. He invented the idea of British uniqueness; in fact, the Reformation could be defined as the first Brexit, when his ministers devised the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty. In this talk, David Starkey draws on his unique knowledge of Henry’s reign to examine his tumultuous personal life, which pitted religion against politics as brutally as in our own age of Isis, through to the Grand Tourists who bought European culture with British money, all offering so very many parallels with the Brexit situation we find ourselves in today. Mae Harri VIII, fel cawr, yn sefyll yn stond ynghanol hanes ein gwlad. Efe a ddyfeisiodd y syniad fod Prydain yn unigryw; yn wir, gellid diffinio’r Diwygiad Protestannaidd fel y Brexit cyntaf, pan ddyfeisiodd ei weinidogion athrawiaeth sofraniaeth seneddol. Yn y sgwrs hon, bydd David Starkey’n tynnu ar ei wybodaeth unigryw o deyrnasiad Harri i archwilio’i fywyd personol cythryblus a roddodd grefydd benben yn erbyn gwleidyddiaeth yr un mor gignoeth ag yn ein hoes bresennol ni o wynebu Isis, hyd at y Twristiaid Crand, a brynodd ddiwylliant Ewrop ag arian Prydeinig, gan gynnig cynifer o gyfatebiaethau â’r sefyllfa y cawn ein hun ynddi gyda Brexit heddiw. 90m 2.30pm £16 / £14

MID WALES OPERA
EUGENE ONEGIN
Eugene Onegin combines Pushkin’s heartbreaking story with Tchaikovsky’s sweeping lyricism in a stunning exploration of love, death, life and convention. The poignant tale contrasts the simplicity of country life with the sophisticated excesses of Russia’s pre-revolutionary court and narrates the fated love between innocent Tatyana and world-weary cynic, Onegin. A fabulous cast includes rising new stars and internationally recognised performers. Led by MWO’s Artistic Directors, Richard Studer and Jonathan Lyness, and accompanied by the brilliant Ensemble Cymru, this new production will leave audiences enthralled and deeply moved. Cyfuna Eugene Onegin hanes torcalonnus Pushkin â thelynegrwydd ysgubol Tchaikovsky mewn ymchwiliad syfrdanol i gariad, marwolaeth, bywyd a chonfensiwn. Mae’r hanes ingol yn cyferbynnu symlrwydd bywyd cefn gwlad â gormodedd soffistigedig llys cyn-chwyldroadol Rwsia ac yn adrodd hanes y cariad tynghedus rhwng Tatyana ddiniwed a’r sinig lluddedig Onegin. Ymhlith y cast gwych mae sêr newydd a pherfformwyr rhyngwladol cydnabyddedig. Dan arweiniad Cyfarwyddwyr Artistig OCC, Richard Studer a Jonathan Lyness, i gyfeiliant Ensemble Cymru, bydd y cynhyrchiad newydd hwn yn swyno a chyffroi cynulleidfaoedd i’w craidd. 180m 7.30pm £19 / £17 / £10 UNDER 26 | DAN 26 OED

MARTIN KEMP IN CONVERSATION ‘The show gives me a chance to say everything I can’t say in the media and it’s achieving what I wanted it to achieve, which is allowing people to get to know me.’ martin kemp Martin Kemp talks candidly about his truly amazing career. A television actor since the age of ten, he formed Spandau Ballet in 1979, which led to incredible global success. The musician, author, film director and occasional TV presenter hit the headlines on Eastenders, has conquered great personal challenges, had a best-selling book and won many new fans on Celebrity Big Brother, not forgetting his stunning performance in the International hit movie, The Krays.
TUESDAY 17 APRIL MAWRTH 17 EBRILL
Dyma Martin Kemp yn siarad yn ddi-flewyn-ar-dafod am ei yrfa wirioneddol anhygoel. Ac yntau’n actor teledu er yn ddeg oed, yn gerddor, awdur, cyfarwyddwr ffilm, ac yn gyflwynydd teledu achlysurol, ffurfiodd Spandau Ballet yn 1979, a arweiniodd at lwyddiant enfawr ledled y byd. Roedd Martin yn y penawdau i gyd ar Eastenders, mae wedi goroesi heriau personol enfawr, wedi cael llyfr yn werthwr gorau ac ennill llawer o ddilynwyr newydd ar ôl ymddangos ar Celebrity Big Brother, heb anghofio’i berfformiad syfrdanol yn y ffilm lwyddiannus ryngwladol, The Krays.
A multi-BBC Folk Award winning artist, Jon Boden has become woven into the fabric of the English folk scene as frontman for one of the most successful English folk bands ever, Bellowhead. Now flexing his musical muscles in his own right, Boden performs songs from his new album, Afterglow, released October 2017. The album draws audiences into an atmospheric setting of barrel fires and star light, accentuated by ambitious lighting designed pick up the themes of light and dark.
JON BODEN
Yn ei rôl fel prif leisydd Bellowhead, un o’r bandiau gwerin Saesneg mwyaf llwyddiannus erioed, daeth Jon Boden, enillydd Gwobr Gwerin y BBC niferoedd o weithiau, yn rhan hanfodol o wead y sîn werin yn Lloegr. Bellach, ac yntau’n sefyll ar ei ddwy droed gerddorol ei hun, dyma Boden i berfformio caneuon o’i albwm newydd, Afterglow, a ryddhawyd ym mis Hydref 2017. Mae’r albwm yn dwyn cynulleidfaoedd i fyd tanau casgen a golau sêr, a’r cynllun goleuo uchelgeisiol yn pwysleisio themâu goleuni a thywyllwch.

A BRAVE FACE Afghanistan: 2009. Ryan is there to see the world, learn a trade, get a life. Training’s complete, combat is a buzz. But on one particular hot and desperate tour of duty, Ryan sees things he can’t talk about, to anyone. And when he returns home, the trouble really begins. A Brave Face explores Post-Traumatic Stress, with compassion and fearlessness, as Vamos brings its trademark, wordless, full mask style to a story that needs to be told. Afghanistan: 2009. Mae Ryan yno i weld y byd, dysgu crefft, cael bywyd. Daeth yr hyfforddiant i ben, mae ymladd yn hwyl. Ond ar un cylch dyletswydd arbennig o boeth a digalon, mae Ryan yn gweld pethau nad yw’n gallu sôn amdanynt â neb. Ac ar ôl dod adre, dyna pryd mae’r trwbl yn dechrau go iawn. Mae A Brave Face yn archwilio Pwysau Ôl-Drawma mewn modd tyner a di-ildio, wrth i Vamos ddod â’u harddull nodweddiadol ddi-eiriau, â masgiau llawn drin stori sydd angen ei hadrodd.
