CROESO Hoffem fachu ar y cyfle i ddiolch o galon i’n holl gwsmeriaid sydd wedi cefnogi’r theatr yn ystod y cyfod ariannol aniscr hwn. Nid oes dwy waith bod eich negeseuon o gefnogaeth i’r cyngor wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth. Nid yw’r dyfodol o bell ffordd yn un berffaith, ond er hynny, edrychai llawer gwell na blwyddyn yn ôl. Mae gostyngiad o 50% yn ein cyllid dros y dair blynedd nesaf yn amgenach o lawer na thoriad o 100% yn 2016. Golygai’r toriadau hyn ein bod yn chwilio am ffyrdd newydd o gynyddu ein hincwm heb ymharu yn ormodol ar ein prisiau. Sawl theatr y gwyddoch chi amdan sy’n gwerthu lluniaeth am brisiau cystadleol y stryd fawr?

Rydym hefyd yn edrych at ddenu noddwyr o gwmniau i fuddsoddi yn ein cyfraniadau diwylliannol. Mae mynychu a chymryd rhan mewn theatr byw yn ychwanegu llawer i’n bywydau bob dydd. Nid dim ond ar gyfer nosweithiau allan yn llawn adloniant rydym yn boblogaidd ond hefyd ymfalchiwn yn ein rhaglenni addysg sy’n datgloi dychymyg a’n creadigrwydd ac yn dod a chymunedau yn agosach at ei gilydd. Cyfrannwn yn ogystal at ffyniant economaidd Maldwyn ac yn helpu i hyrwyddo proffil Gogledd Powys, nid yn unig yma yng Nghymru ond ar draws y DU yn ogystal. Yn dilyn astudiaeth diweddar a fu’n archwilio mewn i fanteision iechyd pobl a oedd yn mynychu’r theatrau defnyddiwyd llawer iawn o’r geiriau yma: hapus; codi calon; ysbrydioledig; adfywio; bodlon. Felly, rydym yn werth pob ceiniog! Cadwch lygad allan am lawnsiad ein gwefan newydd yn y dyfodol agos a gwnewch yn siwr eich bod ar flaen y gad gyda’r digwyddiadau diweddaraf sy’n digwydd yn yr Hafren drwy gefnogi ein gwasanaeth e-bost.

WELCOME I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers who have supported the theatre through a period of unprecedented financial uncertainty. There is no doubt that your messages of support to Powys County Council have made a difference. Although the future picture is not perfect by any means and presents a number of challenges, it is considerably better than it was a year ago. A 50% funding reduction phased over three years is a long way from the starting position of 100% cut in 2016. The funding cuts mean that we are looking for new ways to increase our income without this impacting on our excellent value for money. How many other theatres sell their refreshments at prices that you can find on the high street? We are looking to set up a crowdfunding donation site, where you will be able to contribute from as little as £5 in order to keep our excellent education programme accessible to schools and community groups. We are also looking at attracting sponsorship from companies that are interested in investing in our cultural contribution. Attending and participating in live theatre contributes so much to our lives. Not only are we a popular choice for a quality night out but our education programme is unlocking creativity and imagination and bringing communities together. We contribute to the economic prosperity of Montgomeryshire, and help to promote the profile of North Powys not only to the rest of Wales, but across the UK. In a recent study undertaken to explore the health benefits of attending theatres the following words were used most often: Happy, Uplifted, Inspired, Stimulated and Satisfied. So, we’re even good for your health! Look out for the launch of our refreshed website in the near future, and make sure that you’re the first to know what’s happening – simply sign up to the email priority notification service! Once again, many thanks from all of us here at Hafren, your support is really appreciated and remember – the easiest way to support us is to simply buy a ticket, enjoy a drink in the bar or an ice cream and in return you get a memorable night out.

Following on from the 2011 smash hit ‘Bred in Heaven’, Frapetsus productions present a new and exciting comedy based on the Rugby world cup. Last time we followed the fortunes of Maldwyn Novello Pughe – the star of rugby comedy Grand Slam, and friends as they ventured to New Zealand. This time, however, the challenges lie closer to home at Twickenham, or Twickers as the locals like to call it. We go on tour with a rugby mad group of friends making the journey east along the M4, and over the Severn Bridge in a quest to support our boys in red as they aim to topple the chariot! The flamboyant and loveable Maldwyn is back, and promises the tour of a lifetime that the boys will never forget, although some will wish that they could! We follow the ups and downs of supporting our boys as they aim to make history. Can Wales go one step further than 2011 and make the final? Can they turn over the old enemy on their own front lawn? Will the boys even manage to get hold of a ticket? Follow the highs and lows of outrageous misfortunes, and the emotional rollercoaster we have all become more than familiar with while cheering on our boys! Drama yn canlyn taith criw o gefnogwyr brwd rygbi yn eu cais i gefnogi y bois mewn coch yn erbyn eu hen gwrthwynebwyr yn Twickenham.

Only Men Aloud Following a highly successful 11 date UK Christmas tour, which included a sell-out performance at St. David’s Hall in Cardiff, the Classical Brit Award winners are out on the road again in their native Wales in 2015, as part of a UK-wide tour. Over the years the hugely popular vocal group has built up a strong fan base across the country, and this audience is now eager to see the new generation eight man line-up of OMA performing songs from their new album, their fifth studio recording, which will be released next summer. After 13 years and some incredible experiences – from winning BBC’s Last Choir Standing and the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special to scooping a Classical Brit Album of the Year Award and performing to a global TV audience as the Cauldron was lit at the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, Only Men Aloud has undergone a regeneration with a fresh line-up and a new, more individual style that suits their personalities - but with the same popular appeal that has wowed fans across the country. Over the years the Wales-based male vocal group has varied in size according to requirements, sometimes having 20 men on stage performing a varied repertoire that covers everything from Welsh traditional music and Opera to Tom Jones and Coldplay. Yn canlyn taith llwyddiannus iawn y llynedd, mae enillwyr gwobr clasurol y Brits – Only Men Aloud – unwaith eto ar eu taith yng Nghymru. Tickets £26 | #HafrenOMA

To Kill a Machine To Kill a Machine tells the life-story of war-time cryptanalyst Alan Turing. It is a story about the necessity of truth and justice and about the importance of keeping and of revealing secrets. The play examines his pioneering work considering whether a machine could think asking the questions: what then is the difference between a human and a machine and if a human is prevented from thinking, do they then become a machine? At the heart of the play is a powerful love story which questions the meaning of humanity, and the importance of freedom and considers how these questions are played out in relation to Turing’s own life, death and posthumous re-evaluation. It is the story of Turing the genius, Turing the victim and Turing the constant, in a tumultuous world. Drama stori bywyd Alan Turing, cêl-ddadansoddwr amser y rhyfel, yn dangos pwysigrwydd o’r gwir ac anghyfiawnder, a’r pwysigrwydd o gadw a datgelu cyfrinachau.
“Both play and production are highly impressive, boding well for the future of what appears to be an ambitious new company” Othniel Smith

The story of a farmer’s daughter and winner of ‘Best Production in the English Language’ at the Wales Theatre Awards 2015 tours UK this Spring
In the summer of 1989, a farmer’s wife gave birth to a baby girl. In this moment Buddug James Jones became heir to her family’s three hundred year old farming dynasty. Now as a modern young woman, Bud is desperate to change her destiny. Leaving five generations of tradition behind, she sets out alone into the big smoke encountering men, heartbreak, drama and hilarity along the way accompanied by live music, Welsh cakes and a Twmpath. The show is a personal reflection on the wider contemporary issues currently affecting the UK countryside as younger generations leave behind rural life for more secure urban futures and feel the burden of the impact this has on the people and places they leave behind. Hiraeth follows Bud’s story, retelling her life with honesty, humour and integrity. Stori adlewyrchiad personol merch fferm sy’n portreadu materion sy’n effeithio cymuned cefn gwlad pan gadewir y gynhedlaeth ifanc i fynd i‘r trefi i chwilio am waith.

On the road to Newtown, we bring a programme full of light, and energy. We’re delighted to welcome back conductor Otto Tausk, and friend of the Orchestra, Baiba Skride, who will perform Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. Helios, named after Greek god of the sun, depicts the sun rising and falling over the Aegean Sea; Danish composer Carl Nielsen was inspired to write it while staying in Athens with his wife, admiring the coast before him. needs little introduction, with one of the most iconic openings of all time. Its driving rhythms,
and combination of drama and darkness, create a work both Beethoven’s writing and the symphony as an art form. Little wonder that it continues to be the gateway to orchestral music for many, and was one of the works selected for BBC Music’s Ten Pieces project last season.

HITCH Taking inspiration from his movies, Hitch will take you on a journey into the extraordinary mind of Alfred Hitchcock. As you enter a darkly funny and twisted world of suspense and intrigue, the performers draw you into the shadows as they balance on a knife-edge. A thrilling adventure into the murky places of Cabaret’s psyche, Hitch collects the bizarre and unnatural to amuse and tantalise but most of all to spook. Featuring a thrilling soundscape, you’ll be kept on the edge of your seat in this atmospheric circus and cabaret spectacular. Fancy dress is optional but highly recommended! Come as your favourite Hitchcock character: victim, villain or hapless innocent. Or maybe you fancy yourself as the ‘master of suspense’ himself…

LARISA SUTURINA PHILLIPS EARLY JUNE - END OF JULY
Born in Siberia, in the former Soviet Union, I have lived in the United Kingdom for 27 years, 15 of which have been in Newtown and Llanidloes. I received most of my education in Russia, studying at an artist studio in Novosibirsk, where I learnt initial drawing skills and developed my love for fine art. I attended Coleg Powys in Newtown 6 years ago where I have been able to produce several sculptural pieces. All of my work is original, taking inspiration from different countries and different cultures. Compositions are mostly influenced by Islamic tiles, other ideas come from oriental flower arrangements.

Fel arfer, ni fydd y rhain ar gael tan i’r seddi eraill gael eu gwerthu.

Mae digon o le ar gyfer parcio y tu allan. Mae hefyd ar agor am ddwy awr cyn pob perfformiad.
FFÔN Ffoniwch y swyddfa docynnau ar 01686 614555 (gweler uchod amserau agor y swyddfa). Gallwch dalu trwy gerdyn credyd neu ddebyd (isafswm o £10.00 ar gardiau debyd). Gallwch hefyd archebu seddau ymlaen llaw a bydd y rhain yn cael eu cadw am bum diwrnod gwaith. Mae’n ddrwg gan Hafren na all y seddau gael eu cadw os na fydd tâl wedi’i dderbyn o fewn y cyfnod hwn. Bydd eich galwadau i archebu dros y ffôn yn cael eu hailgyfeirio i beiriant ateb yn ystod 30 munud cyn perfformiadau er mwyn galluogi staff y Swyddfa Docynnau i ddelio gydag ymwelwyr sy’n cyrraedd.
PRISIAU TOCYNNAU MANTAIS A CHYFRADDAU ARBENNIG Lle dangosir hynny, bydd tocynnau mantais ar gael i blant, myfyrwyr, pobl dros 60, unigolion sydd wedi’u cofrestru’n anabl (gan gynnwys gofalwyr) a’r di-waith. Bydd Tocyn Teulu a thocynnau Manteiswyr Cynnar yn dibynnu ar y nifer o docynnau sydd ar gael, a rhaid talu am y tocynnau erbyn y dyddiad penodedig. Mae’n bosibl y bydd angen cyfyngu lleoedd. Ceidw Hafren yr hawl i atal y cyfraddau mantais hyn ar unrhyw adeg, heb rybudd. Bydd tocyn teulu’n cynnwys, ar y mwyaf, bedwar unigolyn gydag o leiaf ddau ohonynt yn blant.
TRWY’R POST Cyfeiriad : Swyddfa Docynnau, Hafren, Ffordd Llanidloes, Y Drenewydd, Powys SY16 4HU. Nodwch enw’r perfformiad, y nifer o docynnau y carech eu harchebu (gan gynnwys unrhyw docynnau mantais), eich enw, eich cyfeiriad a’ch rhif ffôn yn ystod y dydd.

Ychwanegwch 60c at y cyfanswm (os yw’n llai na £65.00) ac os ydych yn dymuno i’ch tocynnau gael eu postio atoch.
CYFRADDAU I GRWPIAU Mae’r rhain ar gael i grwpiau o 10 neu fwy ar gyfer y mwyafrif o berfformiadau. Bydd un tocyn ar gael am ddim gyda phob 10 tocyn sy’n cael eu harchebu.

AD-DALIADAU A CHYFNEWIDIADAU Mae Hafren yn gwerthfawrogi ymrwymiad cwsmeriaid i’r theatr trwy archebu’n gynnar ar gyfer achlysuron ac yn cydnabod y gall newidiadau ddigwydd o ran cynlluniau. Mewn achos o’r fath, os bydd tocynnau’n cael eu dychwelyd i’r swyddfa docynnau, gwnawn bob ymdrech i’w hail-werthu i gwsmeriaid eraill. Ni ellir sicrhau hyn gan y bydd tocynnau’r theatr yn cael eu gwerthu’n gyntaf. Os bydd y theatr yn llwyddo i ail-werthu’r tocynnau, bydd y swyddfa docynnau’n trefnu credyd i chi am werth y tocynnau, i chi ei ddefnyddio wrth archebu unrhyw docynnau yn y dyfodol. Bydd y trefniant hwn yn gymwys ar gyfer y prynwr gwreiddiol y tocynnau. Yn anffodus, yn unol â mwyafrif o theatrau proffesiynol eraill, nid yw’n bosibl gwneud ad-daliadau ariannol am docynnau sydd wedi’u prynu eisoes.
CYFLEUSTERAU I’R ANABL Mae dau le parcio wedi’u neilltuo ger drysau ffrynt y theatr ar gyfer y rhai sy’n berchen ar Fathodynnau Glas. Dylai unigolion sy’n defnyddio cadair olwyn ddefnyddio prif fynedfa Coleg Powys er mwyn manteisio ar y drysau awtomatig. Mae’r mynediad i’r Swyddfa Docynnau, Bar yr Oriel, a’r Awditoriwm yn wastad. Mae lle i 6 cadair olwyn ar gael o flaen y prif seddau, a dylid trefnu lle ymlaen llaw ar gyfer hyn. Mae arwydd llachar yn dynodi’r toiledau, ac mae mynedfa i gadair olwyn a thoiled pwrpasol ar gael. Mae yna system cylchwifrau (loop system) i gwsmeriaid sydd â nam ar y clyw a gall y rhai sydd am ddefnyddio’r system honno droi pob teclyn clyw i ‘T’. Gellir gofyn hefyd am glustffonau. Gallwch wneud cais i dderbyn gwybodaeth am achlysuron y theatr mewn print bras.
TOCYNNAU RHODD Y THEATR Mae gan y theatr ei thocynnau rhodd sy’n ddilys ar gyfer y mwyafrif o achlysuron. Mae’r theatr hefyd yn rhan o Gynllun Tocynnau’r Theatr Genedlaethol. Ffoniwch y Swyddfa Docynnau am fanylion ar 01686 614555. LLUNIAETH Bydd bar y theatr ar agor awr cyn cychwyn pob perfformiad, a hefyd yn ystod yr egwyl ac ar ôl pob perfformiad. Er mwyn manteisio ar yr egwyl, awgrymwn eich bod yn archebu eich diodydd ymlaen llaw, gan y gall y bar fod yn brysur dros ben yn ystod yr egwyl.

LLOGI’R THEATR Mae awditoriwm y theatr a chyfleusterau eraill ar gael ar gyfer cynadleddau, cyfarfodydd busnes ac achlysuron arbennig.

Bydd gwasanaeth technegol proffesiynol ar gael ar y safle er mwyn sicrhau’r gwasanaeth gorau posibl o ran sain, goleuadau a chyflwyniad eich achlysur. Mae’r arlwyaeth yn apelio at ofynion unrhyw un, ac mae’r theatr yn cynnig amgylchedd trefnus a phroffesiynol, hyblyg o ran lleoli niferoedd o 10 a mwy. Cysylltwch â Melanie Pettit ar 01686 614232.
