Provocative and sexually ambiguous, Sloane soon has both Kath and her brother Ed competing for his favours. But all is not as it seems. Behind Sloane’s nonchalant demeanour lies a calculating psychopath with a dark and secretive past. Seduction, blackmail and murder lie waiting in the wings.

Dyma gomedi dywyll Joe Orton sy’n darlunio’r newid ddaw i fodolaeth anniddorol Kath a’i hen ddyn o dad, Kemp, gyda chyrhaeddiad lletywr newydd, yr enigmatig Mr Sloane. Yn bryfoclyd ac amwys ei rywioldeb, gwelwn yn ddigon buan, bod Kath a’i brawd Ed yn cystadlu am ei ffafrau. Ond nid yw pob peth fel yr ymddengys. Y tu ôl i ymarweddiad o ddifaterwch Mr Sloane, fe driga seicopath craff ag iddo orffennol tywyll a chyfrinachol. Mae swyn, blacmel a llofruddiaeth yn llechu yn y cysgodion. 7.30PM | 135 MINS | £15.00 (£13.00) + 50P PER TICKET ADMIN FEE A THÂL GWEINYDDU O 50C Y TOCYN AGE | OEDRAN 14+

ROY ‘CHUBBY’ BROWN He’s still rude, he’s still crude and this time he’s turning headlines into punch lines as his rip-roaring brand of banter continues to burst bellies across the country. Chubby doesn’t hold back from sharing his outlandish views on news, women and gender, sailing so close to the mark, even the most seasoned of fans will be left gob-smacked! If easily offended please stay away! Anweddus, di-chwaeth - mae o dal yr un fath, a’r tro ‘ma bydd y perfformiad yn defnyddio penawdau fel sail i’w sioe, gyda’i ysmaldod afieithus yn parhau i godi chwerthin ar draws y wlad. Nid yw Chubby’n credu mewn dal nôl o rannu ei farn anghyffredin ar y newyddion, merched a chenedl, gan hwylio mor agos i’r gwynt, bydd hyd yn oed ei gefnogwyr mwyaf aeddfed yn gegagored!

Torvald and Nora Helmer have it all: a loving marriage, three beautiful children, and a secure financial future as a result of Torvald’s new appointment at the bank. But Nora has a secret, and the arrival of an unexpected visitor on Christmas Eve threatens to tear their lives apart forever… Mae’r cyfan gan Torvald a Nora Helmer: priodas gariadus, tri o blant hyfryd, a dyfodol ariannol diogel o ganlyniad i benodiad diweddar Torvald yn y banc. Ond mae gan Nora gyfrinach, ac mae cyrhaeddiad ymwelydd ar Noswyl Nadolig yn bygwth chwalu eu bywydau’n deilchion am byth... 7.30PM | £14.00 (£12.00) + 50P PER TICKET ADMIN FEE A THÂL GWEINYDDU O 50C Y TOCYN

TIME LET ME PLAY FROM THE POETRY OF DYLAN THOMAS MUSIC COMPOSED AND PERFORMED BY KEITH JAMES A brave and haunting collection of Dylan’s most cherished poems, sensitively set to music by one of this country’s most singular and critically acclaimed concert performers.

Clown In The Moon, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, A Process In The Weather Of The Heart, Fern Hill, O Make Me A Mask. Especially When The October Wind plus many more...

Keith James, with a lifetime reputation of performing in this exact way and an undying love of the pure song, gives you a concert of these hugely honest and binding poems, allowing each word to embark on a new journey. Also included are Keith’s unique and passionate settings of poems by Pablo Neruda, William Blake, Isabel Allende, Garcia Lorca and Leonard Cohen.
