Wrth i’r gwanwyn ffrwydro o dir Bannau Brycheiniog, dyma ni’n gwneud yr un peth gyda thymor llachar. Mae’n addo cyffroi eich calon, eich meddwl, eich enaid… a’ch bol!

With refurbishment beginning soon for our much-loved canal side dining spot, The Waterfront Bistro, you can look forward to a wide variety of locally sourced, freshly cooked food and drink for every occasion.

Ag adnewyddu’n dechrau’n fuan ar llecyn bwyta annwyl ar lan y gamlas, The Waterfront Bistro, gallwch edrych ymlaen at ddetholiad eang o fwyd lleol wedi’i goginio’n ffres, a diod i bob achlysur.

You can also indulge in a classic poignant love story, Mid Wales Opera’s Eugene Onegin, a rare performance from the immensely talented Remi Harris Trio, and a talk from the devastatingly suave Martin Kemp. If you have little ones, why not enjoy a trip down memory lane, with There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly? Bookworm Boogie also runs every Friday morning, a fun and gentle babies’ and toddlers’ session with acclaimed children’s author, Sarah KilBride.

Gallwch hefyd ymgolli mewn stori garu chwerwfelys, Eugene Onegin gan Opera Canolbarth Cymru, perfformiad prin gan yr hynod ddawnus Trio Remi Harris, a sgwrs gan yr yr eilun golygus a llyfn, Martin Kemp. Os oes plant bach gyda chi, beth am fwynhau taith i’r gorffennol yn There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly? Yn ogystal mae gennym Bookworm Boogie bob bore Gwener, sesiwn hwyliog a mwyn i fabis a phlant bach, dan arweiniad yr awdur plant rhagorol Sarah KilBride.

Whether it’s a chance to let your hair down at Comedy Club, or to catch the very best in new Welsh drama, our fresh and varied programme has something for you.

THE TAFF TRAIL TRAJECTORY

Fiona Harper’s personal journey in paint is part of her enduring fascination with the beauty of the Taff Trail. Her work encapsulates two Welsh valleys steeped in an industrial history, both tragic and optimistic.

Taith bersonol Fiona Harper mewn paent yw hon, fel rhan o’i diddordeb oesol yn harddwch Llwybr Taf. Mae’i gwaith yn crynhoi dau ddyffryn yng Nghymoedd De Cymru sy’n gyforiog o hanes diwydiannol, trasig a chalonogol ar yr un pryd.

VULGAR EARTH

The effects of humankind, driven by profit, are felt everywhere on the landscape of the Beacons. Vulgar Earth, an artists’ collective, uses painting, sculpture and installation with a passion and intensity, to reawaken realisations of the direction humanity has taken.

Teimlir effeithiau dynolryw, ar drywydd elw, ymhobman ar dirwedd y Bannau, yn yr amgylchedd, y dirwedd a’r bywyd gwyllt, ac o fewn i’n trefn gymdeithasol, ein cymunedau a’n hiechyd meddwl. Mae Vulgar Earth, cymuned o artistiaid, yn defnyddio paentio, cerflunio a gosodwaith ag angerdd a dwyster, i ailgynnau ymwybyddiaeth o’r cyfeiriad mae dynoliaeth wedi dewis ei ddilyn.

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.

SELLI NG FAST

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.

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.

OUR LIFE WITH BIRDS LLOYD AND ROSE BUCK

It’s not often you see birds on stage in a theatre, and even more rare to see one flying over the audience! Experience a rare opportunity to meet Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, hawks, owls, starlings and many more, all raised and trained by bird handlers and husband and wife team, Lloyd and Rose Buck.

The Bucks have devoted their lives to taking care of birds, mastering the art of tracking and capturing them on film.

They are, without doubt, the world’s experts, having worked stars including Sir David Attenborough, Bear Grylls, Chris Packham and Kate Humble.

This show is illustrated with Lloyd and Rose’s own film footage and photography and is suitable for all ages. It promises to be an interactive wildlife experience like no other!

Prin y gwelwch chi adar ar lwyfan mewn theatr, ac mae’n brinnach fyth gweld un yn hedfan dros ben y gynulledifa!

Dewch i brofi cyfle prin i gwrdd ag Eryrod Aur, Hebogiaid Tramor, gweilch, tylluanod, y drudwy a llawer mwy, a’r cyfan wedi’u magu a’u hyfforddi gan y tîm gw ˆr a gwraig sy’n trin adar, Lloyd a Rose Buck.

Mae’r Bucks wedi neilltuo bywyd cyfan i ofalu am adar, gan feistroli’r grefft o ddilyn a dal yr adar ar ffilm. Heb os, nhw yw arbenigwyr y byd, ac maen nhw wedi gweithio gyda sêr sy’n cynnwys Syr David Attenborough, Bear Grylls, Chris Packham a Kate Humble.

Darlunnir y sioe hon â ffilmiau a ffotograffiaeth Lloyd a Rose eu hunain, ac mae’n addas i bob oedran. Mae’n addo bod yn brofiad bywyd gwyllt rhyngweithiol annhebyg i ddim arall!

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.

MISS JULIE IN WELSH | YN GYMRAEG

A brand new adaptation of this stirring period drama presented in the Welsh Language.

Midsummer’s Eve is Miss Julie’s time, a night filled with desire, when rules are broken, class barriers are set aside and the young mistress of the manor can dance with whomever she pleases. She chooses Jean, her father’s valet, and for a few hours through the long twilight they play an increasingly dangerous game of ‘what if’?

Set at the turn of the 20th Century, this thrilling revival of August Strindberg’s enduring classic is full of passion, power...and lust!

Addasiad newydd sbon o’r ddrama gyfnod gythryblus hon yn Gymraeg.

Y noson fyrraf, cyn hirddydd haf, yw amser Miss Julie, noson yn llawn o ddyheu, pan dorrir rheolau, neilltuir rhwystrau dosbarth a gall meistres ifanc y plas ddawnsio â phwy bynnag a fyn. Mae hi’n dewis Jean, gwas personol ei thad, ac am ychydig oriau drwy’r gwyll maith maen nhw’n chwarae gêm gynyddol beryglus o ‘beth os’?

Wedi’i osod ar droad yr 20fed ganrif, mae’r adfywiad cyffrous hwn o glasur bytholwyrdd August Strindberg, yn llawn o angerdd, grym… a chwant! directed by and starring | wedi’i gyfarwyddo gan gareth john bale supported by | cefnogir gan arts council wales

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.

HUGH THOMSON Celebrated travel writer, Hugh Thomson, returned to Britain to write about his own country For The Green Road into the Trees, which won the inaugural Wainwright Prize for Best Nature and Travel Writing. For the sequel, One Man and a Mule, he decided to have ‘a South American adventure in England’ by taking a mule as a pack animal across the North of England.

Dychwelodd yr awdur taith o fri, Hugh Thompson, i Brydain i ysgrifennu am ei wlad ei hun yn The Green Road into the Trees, a enillodd y Wobr Wainwright am Ysgrifennu Natur a Theithio Gorau, y tro cyntaf y dyfarnwyd hi. Yn y dilyniant, One Man and a Mule, penderfynodd gael ‘antur De America yn Lloegr’ drwy fynd ag asyn fel anifail pwn ar draws Gogledd Lloegr.
