8.00pmAc Mae’n Dawel by Siân PriceMyfanwy yn y Moorlands by Sharon MorganRehearsed Readings £4/£3 (Welsh)

Ac Mae’n DawelA powerful, metaphoric play portraying the gap between technology and reality.

Myfanwy yn y Moorlands“They’ve been coming here for centuries; to the huge, impersonal monster. Anything is better than stagnation.” Under the bright lights of the city, rural and urban combine; a girl and a boy meet, love and move on.

8.00yhAc Mae’n Dawel gan Siân PriceMyfanwy yn y Moorlands gan Sharon MorganDarlleniadau £4/£3 (Cymraeg)

Ac Mae’n Dawel Drama ddelweddol, rymus sy’n darlunio’r gofod rhwng technoleg a bywyd go iawn.

Myfanwy yn y Moorlands “Maen nhw wedi dod ‘ma ar hyd y canrifoedd; i’r anghenfil mawr amhersonol. Mae unrywbeth yn well na merddwr.” Dan oleuadau’r brifddinas daw gwlad a thref ynghyd yn ferch a bachgen i garu a gwahanu.

6.00pmThe Butterfly Fugue by Lisa ParryRehearsed Reading £4/£3 (English)

One violin. One butterfly. One concert dress. Two women. But whose is the intruding voice? And why is one of the women desperate to play Bach? A haunting study of loss, stifled ambition and mental disintegration.

6.00yhThe Butterfly Fugue gan Lisa ParryDarlleniad £4/£3 (Saesneg)

Un ffidil. Un glöyn byw. Un wisg gyngerdd. Dwy fenyw. Ond llais pwy sy’n ymyrryd? A pham mae un fenyw mor ofnadwy o awyddus i chwarae Bach? Astudiaeth emosiynol o golled, o uchelgais a fygwyd, a meddwl yn araf ddadfeilio.

6.00pmPerfect DayRehearsed Reading £4/£3 (English)

Sherman Cymru’s Young Writers Group and Youth Theatre members join forces to tell the tales of a diverse group on the day the world is ending

8.00pmRAW: Light Arrested Between the Curtain and the Glass by Brad Birch£8/£6 (English)

More thrills than frills - a raw production of a new play about guilt, faith and devotion set in the bleak and brooding uplands of Mid Wales. Stifled by the heartache of a local tragedy, the small, god-fearing town of Nantglyn is fractured. Fuelled by his own regret, the local vicar takes it upon himself to reunite the parish. Where will his crusade take him and his congregation?

8.00yhAMRWD: Light Arrested Between the Curtain and the Glass gan Brad Birch£8/£6 (Saesneg)

Drama am euogrwydd, ffydd a defosiwn wedi’i lleoli yn ucheldir llwm a diffaith y Canolbarth. Mae tref fechan dduwiol Nantglyn wedi ei mygu’n dilyn y torcalon ddaeth yn sgil digwyddiad trasig lleol. Ac yntau’n llawn edifeirwch, mae’r ficer lleol yn penderfynu ceisio uno’r plwyf unwaith yn rhagor. I ble fydd y crwsâd hwn yn mynd ag ef a’i braidd?
