A modern legend in her native Denmark, she burst onto the British scene by winning Best Newcomer at Edinburgh Festival 2015; her 2016 follow-up, ‘Shimmer Shatter’, was a second total sell-out. She’s spoken to millions as former host of ‘Guilty Feminist’ and current host of ‘Made of Human’ podcasts, and appeared on ‘The One Show’, ‘The Now Show’ and ‘Live From The BBC’.

Following a sell-out Edinburgh Festival season and 2016 tour, the star of BBC’s Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week and The John Bishop Show, Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats, and BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show presents an unmissable new stand-up show discussing whether or not she should breed.

This, her biggest national tour to date, is a brand-new show packed with brilliant, offbeat observations, passionate argument, and jokes. Also: one parable.

Jane Eyre: An Autobiography

Cannonballista Liz Clarke

Dyad Productions Struggling to think, live and love beyond the stifling expectations of duty, class and convention, governess Jane Eyre and Master Edward Rochester take a dark journey towards sensual and intellectual liberation. Told through Jane’s eyes, English literature’s most celebrated autobiographical novel shocked the Victorians, and Charlotte Brontë’s gothic subversion of fairy tale romance is now distilled for the stage – under its full title – by writer/director Elton Townend Jones. Performer Rebecca Vaughan embodies everywoman Jane – and several other characters – in this intimate study of love’s realities.

THEATRE

Cannonballista is an explosive solo show by Liz Clarke, which explores grief, coping mechanisms and things we do to get us through. Betty Bruiser (Liz’s Super Hero Alter Ego) has been present in her life for a good few years and Betty thinks it’s about time she had her own show. This highly charged performance will bring together; a cannon, a shed and impossibly high heels, in ways that have never been witnessed before! It also features (if Betty gets her way); the biggest feat of her career and costume changes a plenty, topped off with a huge dollop of glitz. Bydd y perfformiad gwefreiddiol yma’n dwyn ynghyd: canon, sied a sodlau uchel dros ben llestri, mewn ffyrdd na welwyd erioed o’r blaen! Mae hefyd yn cynnwys (os caiff Betty ei ffordd) gorchest mwyaf ei gyrfa a llond gwlad o newid gwisgoedd, ac ar ben hynny talp anferthol o swagar. £12, Reductions £10

Not About Heroes

8 Stephen Macdonald Combining poetry, politics and passion, this remarkable play honours fallen soldiers on all sides, on whose backs we have built today’s history, but challenges with a strong anti-war message. It tells us the tragedy of Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen and their influence on each other’s lives and poetry, during their incarceration in a war hospital for nervous disorders. Forced by society to hide their homosexuality, they develop a perfect but ill-fated love, based on their poetic talents, their political ethics and their experiences on the front. Together they set-about defying the military censors to inform those ‘at home’ of the front-line horrors of war, with a perfect book of poetry. Dyma ddrama hynod sy’n cyfuno barddoniaeth, gwleidyddiaeth ac angerdd sy’n anrhydeddu milwyr a gwympodd ar bob tu, yr ydym wedi llunio hanes yr oes sydd ohoni ar eu cefnau, ond sy’n herio â neges gref yn erbyn rhyfel.

Black is the Color of my Voice

Leaf by Niggle

With soundtrack composed by Karine Polwart and MJ McCarthy

Written and performed by Apphia Campbell, directed by Arran Hawkins and Nate Jacobs. Direct from sell-out performances in Shanghai, New York and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Inspired by the life of Nina Simone, ‘Black Is The Color Of My Voice’ follows a successful jazz singer and civil rights activist seeking redemption after the untimely death of her father. She reflects on the journey that took her from a young piano prodigy destined for a life in the service of the church, to a renowned jazz vocalist at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement.

“Campbell may wear Simone’s trademark head wrap but her performance goes beyond impersonation.” The Times “A compelling and heartbreaking story, punctuated with bursts of song” Ed Festival Magazine Nina Simone a ysbrydolodd ‘Black Is The Color Of My Voice’ sy’n dilyn cantores jazz lwyddiannus a gweithredwraig dros iawnderau sifil ar drywydd iawn ar ôl marw annhymig ei thad. Mae’n myfyrio ynghylch y daith aeth â hi o fod yn bianyddes ifanc ryfeddol a bywyd yng ngwasanaeth yr eglwys yn yr arfaeth iddi, i fod yn gantores jazz enwog yn rheng flaen y Mudiad Iawnderau Sifil. £16

Niggle is a painter. Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other things to do. For some time he has been obsessed with one particular canvas – a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. The painting keeps getting bigger and bigger, but Niggle has a journey to make. He doesn’t want to go, but he cannot get out of it… In 1939 Tolkien was despairing of ever bringing his great work The Lord of the Rings to a conclusion. One morning he woke up with Leaf by Niggle complete in his mind and wrote it down. Suitable for adults and young people aged 10+ With thanks to the Tolkien Trust.

“Tolkien’s lord of small things … enchanting one-man show.” Guardian Ym 1939 roedd Tolkien yn anobeithio gallu fyth ddwyn ei waith mawr The Lord of the Rings i’w derfyn. Un bore deffrodd a Leaf by Niggle yn gyflawn yn ei gof a’i daro ar bapur. £12

Little Wolf By Simon Harris When a young boy mysteriously disappears, Freddie and Rita are forced to confront the truth of their marriage. Is their love too fragile for the truth? As their worlds fracture and collide, what is there worth holding on to? Little Wolf is an intense, surreal and honest exploration of a couple who find themselves facing their ultimate fear. Inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s play Little Eyolf, this is a present-day retelling of a compelling classic of modern drama. From award-winning writer and director Simon Harris, Little Wolf is a play that speaks to the heart of our current uncertainty – one that’s vital, raw and often blisteringly funny. Mae Little Wolf yn chwilio – yn ddwys, yn swrreal ac yn onest – gwpwl sy’n eu cael eu hunain yn wynebu eu hofn mwyaf oll. Drama Henrik Ibsen Little Eyolf a ysbrydolodd y sioe sy’n ailadrodd yn gyfoes un o glasuron cymhellol y ddrama fodern.

What drives the cyclist (apart from a sturdy, well-oiled chain) to such ecstasies of endurance? What curious, deep-rooted passions are aroused by the sight of a simple pair of padded shorts? And what on earth is a derailleur? From the humble commuter to the winner of the Tour de France*, Boulting takes an off-centre look at what it means to ride a bike, drawing on his own underwhelming adventures in the saddle to his fourteen summers spent hurtling around France in

Raft

A powerful new dance theatre production from critically acclaimed Welsh choreographer Gwyn Emberton, that tackles our collective response to how we see and talk about those seeking refuge. Five people, each with a different heritage and background, find themselves in a world far away from home, in a land they do not recognise, hearing a language they do not understand. As they realise their own otherness, against a backdrop of spite and hateful politics, love and friendship, the question about who they are is turned on its head. Might we ask, what if it was you or me who was a refugee?

Ballet Cymru yn cyflwyno gwaith hyd noson, newydd sbon danlli grai a goreograffwyd gan y coreograffydd Rhyngwladol Tim Podesta, yn cynnwys y Prif Ddawnsiwr gynt o’r Royal Ballet a Phrif Ddawnsiwr Gwadd y Royal Ballet Mara Galeazzi.

Featuring songs such as ‘First Cut is the Deepest’, ‘Father & Son’, ‘Peace Train’, ‘Moonshadow’ and ‘Where do the Children Play’, this show traces the path of a man who never stopped wondering about how to make the world a better place and has had audiences on their feet, cheering for more all around the globe. Yn dilyn rhediad werthodd bob tocyn yn y Sydney Opera House Fyd-Enwog, dyma Peace Train, noson o gerddoriaeth ac adrodd straeon. Taith yn ôl mewn amser, yn ail-greu golygfeydd a seiniau Cat Stevens, ar drywydd y dyn yn y gerddoriaeth ac yn adrodd y stori’r tu ôl i’r caneuon. £25

Christmas Cabaret...

La Forme and Adwaith La Forme are a three piece venn diagram of a band who meet in the middle and write dark electronic pop songs. Europe’s rich history and early electronic pop music remain their biggest influences. La Forme hail from Newport but that hasn’t stopped them looking out over the continent to inform their music. Adwaith are like the Welsh Slits playing Johnny Cash, all set in a distinctively European postpunk urban setting. The future of Welsh music, Adwaith’s music is a combination of Buddy Holly, The Pixies and The Velvet Underground – uncompromising heartbreak in under three minutes! Diagram Venn tridarn o fand yw La Forme, sy’n cyfarfod yn y canol ac yn sgrifennu caneuon pop electronig tywyll. Mae Adwaith fel Slits Cymru’n chwarae Johnny Cash mewn lleoliad trefol ôl-pync Ewropeaidd. Free Entry with a donation to the Newport Food Bank

An exhibition of work by participants in Criw Celf. Criw Celf is a series of workshops, run by professional artists, that give an opportunity for children who have shown talent and/or a special interest in art to develop their skills and experiences. All the work in this exhibition has been created by 11-14 year olds who have attended monthly Criw Celf sessions at LGAC. We asked participants to submit a piece of work created in one of their Criw Celf classes or a piece of work created at home using some of the techniques learnt or ideas collected over the 10 months of the programme.
