WORLD’S WORST SERIAL KILLERS with Trevor Marriott Monday 8th September at 7.30pm A two-hour audiovisual show presented by retired murder squad detective Trevor Marriott.

Sioe glyweledol a gyflwynir gan gyn-dditectif sgwad llofruddiaethau, Trevor Marriott.

The show highlights the murders committed by 20 of the world’s worst serial killers, and features over 200 photographs of not only the victims and their killers, but photographs from the original crime scenes, many of which will never have been seen before.

Mae'r sioe yn tynnu sylw at y llofruddiaethau a gyflawnwyd gan 20 o lofruddwyr cyfresol gwaetha'r byd.

Trevor Marriott not only portrays the killers as the monsters whom they are, but shows the errors and bad decisions made by law enforcement officers in allowing some of these killers to roam free to kill again before finally being captured.

This show not for the squeamish or faint hearted as many of the photographs shown are of a very graphic nature, which some may find disturbing.

Tickets: £12, £10 Concessions

16+

Box Office 01639 763214 www.nptartsandents.co.uk

Bydd Trevor Marriott nid yn unig yn portreadu'r llofruddwyr fel yr angenfilod yr ydynt, ond hefyd yn dangos y camgymeriadau a'r penderfyniadau gwael a wnaed gan swyddogion gorfodi'r gyfraith trwy ganiatáu i'r troseddwyr hyn gerdded yn rhydd a lladd eto, cyn cael eu carcharu.

Nid yw'r sioe hon yn addas ar gyfer y rhai gwangalon gan fod nifer o'r lluniau'n fanwl iawn ac mae'n bosib y byddant yn peri pryder i rai pobl.

Cavern Beatles Wednesday 10th September at 7.30pm The Cavern Beatles are widely regarded as being as close to the real thing as it’s possible to get. Be prepared to enjoy all the hits of the Fab Four in a 2 hour show that is completely live with breath-taking attention to detail, even extending to the use of exact reproduction of 1960’s instruments. All of the equipment seen on stage is the same as that used by the Beatles wherever possible.

The Cavern Beatles is the only Beatles band fully endorsed and licensed by the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool and as ambassadors of “The most famous club in the world”.

Tickets: £17.50, £15.50 Concessions

Ystyrir mai'r Cavern Beatles yw'r band tebycaf i'r gwreiddiol ag y mae'n bosib ei gael. Byddwch yn barod i fwynhau holl ganeuon poblogaidd y 'Fab Four' mewn sioe 2 awr sy'n gwbl fyw gyda sylw anhygoel i fanylion - maent hyd yn oed yn defnyddio atgynyrchiadau union o offerynnau'r 1960au. Mae'r holl gyfarpar a welir ar y llwyfan yr un fath â'r rhai a ddefnyddiwyd gan y Beatles lle bynnag y bo modd.

The Cavern Beatles yw'r unig fand teyrnged y Beatles a gefnogir ac a drwyddedir yn llawn gan y Cavern Club enwog yn Lerpwl, ac fel llysgenhadon "y clwb enwocaf yn y byd".

CINDERELLA WITH OWEN MONEY Friday 21st - Sunday 30th November

Rainbow Valley Productions present the most enchanting fairy tale of them all – Cinderella.

This timeless story has remained a childhood favourite for centuries and transferred from the printed page to the stage, it brings to vibrant, colourful life such memorable characters as the beautiful Cinderella and her father, the eccentric Baron Hardup; that loathsome-twosome The Ugly Sisters; dashing Prince Charming and his valet Dandini; a larger-than-life Fairy Godmother; and of course Cinderella’s loyal protector, the loveable Buttons, who, when he isn’t creating comical chaos, is desperate to reveal his true feelings to Cinderella.

With a multi-talented cast led by Wales’ Number One Comedian and BBC Wales broadcaster Owen Money, you can guarantee that the show will be packed with first-class singing and dancing plus that little bit of magic that all the very best family pantomimes are sprinkled with.

Tickets for Rainbow Valley pantomimes always sell fast, so don’t be like Owen Money on the golf course. Make sure you do get to the Ball!

Jimmy’s been described as ‘the hardest working man in comedy’, which let’s face facts is not that impressive. It’s like being the ‘Tallest Dwarf’ or ‘Healthiest Glaswegian’, really not that a big deal.

‘Funny Business’ is Jimmy’s brand new stand up show.

LAST FEW SEATS

Disgrifir Jimmy fel 'y dyn sy'n gweithio galetaf ym myd comedi', ond nid yw hynny'n llawer o gamp a dweud y gwir. Mae'n debyg i fod y 'Corrach Talaf' neu'r 'Glaswegiad Iachaf’ nid yw'n orchest arbennig.
