WELCOME As the shorter days and longer nights draw in, why not take time to look at some of the new and exciting things on offer, here at Theatr Brycheiniog this autumn.

If you would like to find out a little more, why not join us here on Thursday 8 September, when I will be introducing the Autumn Season, at our popular Programme Launch. This is a great opportunity to see and hear firsthand about forthcoming events planned up until Christmas.

Not only do we have a great line up of productions this season, but we are also launching a number of new participatory events for people of all ages.

These include the launch of our new Youth Theatre for children and young people aged 4 to 25, a series of half-term activity days, Parent & Toddler weekly music sessions and Singing for Seniors.

This is just the start of our new participatory programme, so please keep a look out on our website as further activities are developed and launched. If you have a burning desire to learn a new creative skill and think others might like to join you, why not let us know. If you are an artist or workshop leader and would like to lead a weekly session or a one off session contact us and sign up on our Let’s Get Creative @ Brycheiniog register of artists.

We also launch our new Brecon Comedy Club on the last Friday each month from September. This is a fantastic opportunity to see some amazing emerging comedians and others who are beginning to establish themselves on the comedy circuit.

Remember you could have seen them here first.

This autumn will see some changes to our catering and bars as we bring our catering offer in house and launch our all new Waterfront Bar and Bistro. In the interim, the bar is open all day serving light refreshments.

As we move towards Christmas, we bring schools and families the opportunity to see the great Roald Dahl classic, George’s Marvellous Medicine from Birmingham Stage Company; as well as a new production for Under 5’s of The Emperor’s New Clothes. Between Christmas and New Year, we will be bringing you our traditional family pantomime Dick Whittington, in partnership with Jermin Productions.

WEDNESDAY 12 OCTOBER

TWO

BY JIM CARTWRIGHT It’s An Act Theatre company present Jim Cartwright’s comedy drama Two, set in a working class pub in the South Wales valleys. The play centres around an actionpacked night in a pub and the customers who frequent the bar and the relationship between them - all played by just ‘two’ actors.

Its main characters, the Landlord and Landlady, interlace a variety of characters each affected by another specific character. At extremes with each other; he the hands on money-in-till manager, she the gossipy heart of the bar. Their façade ultimately cracks when a young boy in search of his missing dad appears and they are forced to face the loss of their child years before.

FRIDAY 14 OCTOBER

RIGOLETTO Heritage Opera presents: Rigoletto (G Verdi) A tale of passion, kidnap, curses, seduction and murder!

Verdi’s towering opera tells the tragic tale of Rigoletto, jester to a debauched duke, who keeps his master well supplied with fresh conquests. But making jokes at the expense of powerful men can make you enemies, and a web of court intrigue begins to tighten around Rigoletto. He finds himself the target of a grave curse, but it is his carefully protected daughter Gilda who will be its ultimate victim.

Sung in Italian with English subtitles, accompanied by six piece chamber orchestra.

Mae cwmni Theatr It’s An Act yn cyflwyno drama gomedi Jim Cartwright, Two, a leolir mewn tafarn ddosbarth gweithiol yng nghymoedd De Cymru. Mae’r ddrama’n cylchdroi o gwmpas noson llawn digwyddiadau mewn tafarn a’r cwsmeriaid sy’n mynychu’r bar a’r berthynas rhyngddynt – hyn oll yn cael ei actio gan ‘ddau’ actor yn unig.

Mae’r prif gymeriadau, y Landlord a’i wraig, yn gwehyddu amrywiaeth o gymeriadau sydd oll wedi eu heffeithio gan gymeriad penodol arall. Maen nhw’n cynrychioli dau begwn gydag yntau’n rheolwr twyllodrus â’i ddwylo yn y til a hithau’n galon i’r clecs y tu ôl i’r bar. Yn y pen draw mae’r façade yn dechrau simsanu pan ddaw bachgen ifanc i chwilio am ei dad coll ac maen nhw’n cael eu gorfodi i wynebu’r golled o’u plentyn flynyddoedd yn ôl.

Opera Heritage Opera yn cyflwyno: Rigoletto (G Verdi) Stori am gariad, herwgipio, melltith serch a llofruddiaeth!

Mae opera bwerus Verdi yn adrodd stori drasig o Rigoletto, cellweiriwr y Dug llwgr, sy’n darparu digon o gariadon newydd i’w feistr. Ond gall gwneud jôc am ben dynion pwerus eu troi’n elynion i chi, ac mae gwe cynllwyn y llys yn dechrau tynhau o gwmpas Rigoletto.

HYNT Art and culture is for everyone. But if you have an impairment or a specific access requirement, getting to see it isn’t always easy. Often, visiting a theatre or an arts centre can be more complicated than just booking tickets and choosing what to wear.

Mae celfyddydau a diwylliant ar gyfer pawb. Ond os oes gennych nam neu ofyniad mynediad penodol, nid yw bob amser yn hawdd cael profiad ohono. Yn aml, gall ymweld â theatr neu ganolfan gelfyddydau fod yn fwy cymhleth na dim ond archebu tocynnau a dewis beth i’w wisgo.

Hynt is a new national access scheme that works with theatres and arts centres in Wales to make sure there is a consistent offer available for visitors with an impairment or specific access requirement, and their carers or personal assistants.

Mae Hynt yn gynllun mynediad cenedlaethol newydd sy’n gweithio gyda theatrau a chanolfannau celfyddydau yng Nghymru i sicrhau bod cynnig cyson ar gael i ymwelwyr â nam neu ofynion mynediad penodol ac i’w Gofalwyr a’u Cynorthwywyr Personol.

Bydd y wefan yn nodi popeth fydd angen i chi ei wybod am Hynt; ar gyfer pwy mae Hynt, beth mae’n ei ddarparu, a sut i ddod yn aelod.

If you need support or assistance to attend a performance at a theatre or arts centre then you may be eligible to join hynt.

hynt.co.uk 01874 611622

Os oes angen cefnogaeth neu gymorth arnoch i fynychu perfformiad mewn theatr neu ganolfan gelf, yna efallai y byddwch yn gymwys i ymuno â Hynt.
