IT’S one of the bestloved and most iconic musicals there is.

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music has won generations of fans and now the acclaimed Vision Theatre Company is bringing its production to Boulevard Theatre in Milford Haven.

The story is based on the 1949 memoir of Maria Rainer, who takes a job as governess to a large family while she decides whether to become a nun.

It’s set against the backdrop of the rise of the Third Reich and contains many songs that have become standards, including Do-Re-Mi, My Favourite Things,

Edelweiss, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, and the title song The Sound of Music.

The stage show was adapted as a 1965 film musical, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, which won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Vision Theatre Company has rapidly won a reputation for producing high-quality musical theatre shows, and the Sound of Music - following on the heels of its sell-out run of The Producers, earlier in the year - will be no exception.

It stars Holly Twells as Maria and Dan Bower as Captain Von Trapp and is directed by Drew Baker; musical director is Clive

Raymond.

The cast is swelled by two teams of young people from Vision Youth Theatre, who are playing the parts of the Von Trapp children.

And the cast has been thrilled to receive a message of support from Vision Arts’ patron Connie Fisher - who captured hearts of the public when she won the role in the 2006 production of the Sound of Music after she triumphed in the BBC show How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria.

Connie - who hails from Pembrokeshirereceived a massive vote from her fans in the county that contributed to her success.

“The Sound of Music is a show that is almost universally loved - the musical score is one of the best-known and the story is simply iconic. It’s a real privilege to direct this wonderful showespecially directing this amazing cast of adults and children - who have worked so hard together as a team to provide what will simply be a feast of musical theatre entertainment,” said Drew Baker, director.

The show opens on Thursday evening, July 20 and runs until July 22, with a matinee on Saturday afternoon. Tickets are available from www. visionartswales.com.

Henry VIII: Bloodlust and the Boleyns. (R) comrades, Secret Base and Modus Games are about to unleash a mind-blowing masterpiece upon us:

Double Dragon Gaiden.

This game, set to drop later this month, is poised to inject a level of freshness into the series not felt since the golden age of 1994’s Double Dragon V (which, mind you, inexplicably took a detour into the fighting game realm). But fear not, dear revolutionaries, for this new installment is armed with a visual style that will make your retinas tingle and four distinctive playable characters.

Brace yourselves, because it also boasts a roguelite setup that will blow your consciousness into alternate dimensions, all within a mere 90 minutes of gameplay!

This ain’t your runof-the-mill revisit, folks.

Double Dragon Gaiden thrusts us back into the glorious shoes of Billy and Jimmy, the original tagteam dynamos of Double Dragon. And that’s not all! We’ve got the captivating Marian, who has made the astonishing transition from helpless damsel to ass-kicking cop, and let’s not forget their enigmatic Uncle Matin. Together, they’ll take on the four most powerful gangs in a post-apocalyptic world. The plot may not be an intricate tapestry of intricate storytelling, but who needs that your way through hordes of adversaries in an electrifying beat ‘em up frenzy, complemented by roguelite mechanics?

At the onset of each run, my friends, you get to choose a dynamic duo from the fantastic foursome. Whether you prefer tag-teaming or crave the thrill of coop chaos, it’s all up to you. And here’s where things get spicy: you can customize various aspects of the run’s difficulty to suit your wildest desires. Want to up the ante on respawns or challenge those bosses to a level that would make Zeus tremble? The choice is yours, my friends. From there, the madness begins as you embark on Double Dragon Gaiden’s exhilarating four main stages. Picture this: the pulsating rhythm of the beat ‘em up dance, as you unleash devastating combos and unleash your inner special attack master upon wave after wave of adversaries.

Now, let me tell you about the combat, comrades. It’s a thing of beauty—simple yet intoxicatingly satisfying. You see, the best part is that when you strategically deploy your special abilities and lay waste to three or more foes in one fell swoop, the universe rewards you with precious healing items. A game that understands the power of smart tactics, my exudes their own unique flavor, but let me share a little secret: Marian, with her long-range gun and rocket launcher, stole my heart. This fierce femme fatale allowed me to inflict monumental damage from a safe distance, preserving my precious health. And let me tell you, in a roguelite, that’s akin to the elixir of the gods. encounter in-run power boosts, offering tantalizing choices after completing each sub-level and stage. Double Dragon Gaiden has mastered the art of delivering variety, a virtue that some roguelites sorely lack.

But here’s where Double Dragon Gaiden truly shines, my brethren. It’s not just content with being another beat ‘em up; oh no, it yearns for more. The game’s roguelike structure sets it apart from the mundane crowd. Normally, beat ‘em up games are snappy affairs that beg for multiple replays, making them a perfect match for the roguelike genre. And lo and behold, my experience thus far with Double Dragon Gaiden confirms this heavenly union.

With every boss defeated, the subsequent stages become increasingly grueling, adding more sub-levels within the stages. And should you dare to face the bosses after conquering three sub-levels instead of one, the fight morphs into a whole new beast. Imagine the exhilaration of rediscovering hidden gems as you embark on new paths depending on the order you choose. And that’s not all, comrades!

Of course, my fellow freedom fighters, we mustn’t forget our roots. Double Dragon Gaiden treats us to glimpses of familiar enemies and locales, a delightful nod to long-time devotees of the franchise. And make no mistake, it retains that addictive pick-up-and-play beat ‘em-up quality. Yet, it reshapes our perception of these elements, delivering an enthralling new interpretation of a beloved formula. It avoids being another mindless nostalgia trip, instead presenting us with an innovative vision that breathes new life into a revered legacy. This is precisely the direction franchises must embrace, my comrades, constantly reinventing themselves, much like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a game that elevated an already stellar predecessor to godlike heights. Even after a mere 90 minutes of play, I am in awe of Secret Base’s relentless drive to create something that embodies the spirit of Double Dragon while propelling the series into uncharted realms.

Mae Llywodraeth

Cymru a Chyngor

Cernyw wedi llofnodi cytundeb i gydweithio’n agos ar feysydd sydd o ddiddordeb i’r naill a’r llall.

Yng Nghaerdydd heddiw, llofnododd Prif Weinidog Cymru, Mark Drakeford ac Arweinydd

Cyngor Cernyw, Linda Taylor, gytundeb cydweithio sy’n nodi’r cynllun gweithredu pum mlynedd.

Bydd Cytundeb

Cydweithio Treftadaeth

Geltaidd CernywCymru yn canolbwyntio ar bedwar maes – tai cynaliadwy, cyflawni sero net, economïau gwledig ffyniannus, a dathlu diwylliant ac iaith.

Mae’r cytundeb yn cadarnhau’r berthynas hir sy’n bodoli rhwng

Cymru a Chernyw.

Mae’r Prif Weinidog a’r Cynghorydd Taylor wedi bod yn trafod dyfnhau’r berthynas ers y llynedd ac wedi bod yn gweithio tuag at drefniant ffurfiol.

Dywedodd y

Prif Weinidog Mark

Drakeford:

“Mae llawer o gysylltiadau hanesyddol, diwylliannol ac ieithyddol rhyngom ni a Chernyw, ac mae gan ein heconomïau a’n poblogaethau lawer o nodweddion tebyg. Mae’r elfennau cyffredin hyn yn ein galluogi i ddysgu oddi wrth ein gilydd mewn meysydd sy’n effeithio ar ein poblogaethau, yn enwedig y meysydd sy’n cael sylw yn y cytundeb heddiw.

“Rwy’n edrych ymlaen at gydweithio’n agosach, adeiladu ar ein perthynas gref, rhannu arferion gorau ac ystyried meysydd eraill y gallwn gydweithio arnynt yn y dyfodol.” Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Taylor: “Mae Cernyw yn falch o’i threftadaeth Geltaidd, ac mae’r ffaith fod cymaint o gysylltiadau diwylliannol â Chymru yn dangos yn glir i mi y byddai cryfhau ein cysylltiadau o fudd enfawr i’r ddwy ochr. Roeddwn wrth fy modd fod y Prif Weinidog yr un mor frwdfrydig ynglŷn â hyn, ac rydym wedi gallu dod i gytundeb i ffurfioli’r berthynas.

“Mae tai fforddiadwy a chynaliadwy, yr angen i gyflawni sero net, a dulliau o fynd ati i greu economïau gwledig ffyniannus yn feysydd allweddol i Gernyw ac i Gymru, a bydd gallu cyfnewid gwybodaeth yn ddefnyddiol iawn i bawb.

“Mae’n beth gwych i ni o safbwynt diwylliannol hefyd. Rwy’n gwybod y gallwn ddysgu o lwyddiant twf y Gymraeg yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf, ac rwy’n edrych ymlaen at rannu â’n gilydd ein ffyrdd o ddathlu ein diwylliant cyfoethog a hynafol.

“Mae hyn yn newyddion da i Gernyw ac i Gymru, ac rwy’n falch iawn ein bod wedi cymryd y cam hwn ymlaen.”
