Hello and welcome to the Sherman Cymru January – June brochure!

Helo a chroeso i lyfryn Ionawr – Mehefin Sherman Cymru!

As we’ve now fully settled in to our new home and the huge success of our Christmas shows becomes a memory it’s time to look ahead to our packed Spring programme! Offering exciting new productions and the welcome return of old favourites is something on which we pride ourselves.

Erbyn hyn, rydyn ni wedi ymgartrefu’n llwyr yn ein cartref newydd ac mae llwyddiant ysgubol ein sioeau Nadolig bellach yn atgof. Felly mae’n amser i ni edrych ymlaen at ein rhaglen lawn dop ar gyfer y gwanwyn! Rydyn ni’n ymfalchïo yn y ffaith ein bod ni’n cynnig cynyrchiadau newydd, cyffrous ac yn croesawu hen ffefrynnau yn ôl.

The Spring season starts strongly with Cynnau Tân our latest RAW/AMRWD production, offering a platform for new voices in Welsh theatre and this continues with our futurepredicting showcase Trwy’r Ddinas Hon. Of particular note this season is the strength of our work for children and young people, along with fantastic performances from Claytime, Grimm Tales and Aston’s Stones we also have our very first Theatre Festival for Children and Families jam-packed full of eye-opening shows for kids!

Mae tymor y gwanwyn yn dechrau’n gryf gyda Cynnau Tân, ein cynhyrchiad diweddaraf gan RAW/AMRWD, sy’n cynnig llwyfan i leisiau newydd nad ydych wedi eu clywed o’r blaen yn theatr Cymru, ac mae hyn yn parhau gyda’n sioe sy’n darogan y dyfodol, Trwy’r Ddinas Hon. Elfen arbennig o amlwg y tymor hwn yw cryfder ein gwaith i blant a phobl ifanc, ac ochr yn ochr â pherfformiadau gwych gan Claytime, Grimm Tales ac Aston’s Stones mae gennym ein Gŵyl Theatr gyntaf i’r Teulu, sef Gŵyl Theatr Caerdydd i blant a theuluoedd, sy’n llawn dop o sioeau a fydd yn agoriad llygad i blant!

Iconic women seems to be a pervading theme this season with the spotlight once again shining on Dorothy Squires in our production of Say It With Flowers and Eileen Beasley’s defiant stance being the subject of Dyled Eileen (Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru). If dance is more your cup of tea we have you covered with the return of National Dance Company Wales, Candoco Dance Company and Richard Alston Dance Company as well as the fantastic Russell Maliphant and Sadler’s Wells’ profound production The Rodin Project. So dive right in and we look forward to greeting you very soon. Photo / Llun: Nick Allsop

Ymddengys bod menywod eiconig yn thema dreiddiol y tymor hwn hefyd, gyda’r llwyfan unwaith eto yn rhoi lle i Dorothy Squires yn ein cynhyrchiad o Say It With Flowers a safiad herfeiddiol Eileen Beasley yn cael sylw yn Dyled Eileen (Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru). Os mai dawns sy’n mynd â’ch bryd, yna mae yna rywbeth at eich dant chi hefyd gyda Chwmni Dawns Cenedlaethol Cymru, Candoco Dance Company a Richard Alston Dance Company yn ogystal â chynhyrchiad rhagorol Russell Maliphant a Sadler’s Wells, The Rodin Project. Felly, beth am alw heibio i gael blas ar ein harlwy. Edrychwch ymlaen at eich croesawu’n fuan iawn. 029 2064 6900 / shermancymru.co.uk

“ To make life worth living we need the inspiration of an ideal.” This Sherman Cymru Youth Theatre production, involving all 120 of our young performers, explores their relationship with themselves and others and how our ever growing consumer society influences perceptions of reality. Staged on a 15 metre catwalk, Dressing Up Too will examine the aspirations, goals and expectations young people hold for themselves and others and why this might be. Observe our quirky fashion show utilising sound, film, spoken word and movement and step into our performer’s worlds to understand how internal desires express themselves through external image.

Yn y cynhyrchiad hwn gan Theatr Ieuenctid Sherman Cymru, sy’n cynnwys pob un o’n 120 o berfformwyr ifanc, mae yna gyfle iddyn nhw i archwilio’u perthynas gyda’u hunain ac eraill a’r ffordd y mae ein cymdeithas o ddefnyddwyr, sy’n tyfu drwy’r amser, yn dylanwadu ar ein canfyddiad o realiti. Llwyfan Dressing Up Too yw rhodfa 15 metr sioe ffasiwn, ac mae’n archwilio dyheadau, uchelgais a disgwyliadau pobl ifanc, ohonyn nhw eu hunain ac eraill, a’r rhesymau posib dros hynny. Dewch i weld ein sioe ffasiynau amgen, sy’n defnyddio sain, ffilm, y gair a symudiad, a chamwch i mewn i fydoedd ein perfformwyr i ddeall sut mae dyheadau mewnol yn mynegi eu hunain trwy ddelweddau allanol.

Playful, mischievous and deliciously scary fairy tales for all the family.

Straeon tylwyth teg difyr, direidus a digon dychrynllyd ar gyfer y teulu cyfan.

In the dead of night the moon is hiding behind a cloud, and deep in the dark, dark forest two children are lost, scared and hungry… A young girl, exhausted with work and deprived of a bed, lies down in the dirty ashes. Her stepsisters, with hearts as ugly as thorns, snigger at her. Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy and the award-winning Theatr Iolo bring you the magical stories of the Brothers Grimm, including Ashputtel (the original Cinderella story) and Hansel & Gretel.

Time / Amser: 7.30pm

Shappi Khorsandi, comedian, best-selling author and star of two series of BBC Radio 4’s Shappi Talk, cements her status as one of the UK’s brightest talents with her latest show.

Yn ei sioe ddiweddaraf, mae Shappi Khorsandi, comedïwraig, awdures lwyddiannus a seren dwy gyfres o Shappi Talk ar BBC Radio 4, yn cadarnhau ei statws fel un o ddoniau amlycaf y Deyrnas Unedig.

Dirty Looks and Hopscotch tells the story of how, as a girl, Shappi dreamed impossibly romantic dreams. She still does. But a love affair with a Rockstar – what on earth was she doing, thinking… in heaven’s name wearing?

Mae Dirty Looks and Hopscotch yn adrodd hanes Shappi, fel merch ifanc, yn breuddwydio breuddwydion hynod o ramantaidd. Mae’n dal i wneud. Ond yna caiff garwriaeth gyda seren roc – beth yn y byd oedd ar ei phen hi a beth yn y byd oedd hi’n ei wneud… beth yn y byd oedd hi’n ei wisgo?

Dyled Eileen portrays Eileen and Trefor Beasley’s protest against their local authority in the 1950s to receive their tax bill in Welsh. During their eight year struggle they refused to pay their debt to the then Rural District Council of Llanelli. As a result, bit by bit, they watched the bailiffs carry away nearly all of their possessions.

Llosgi’r Ysgol Fomio ym Mhen Llŷn gododd ymwybyddiaeth Eileen Beasley o’i Chymreictod gyntaf. Doedd dim llawer o drafod gwleidyddiaeth gartref ar y fferm, ond fe welodd bryd hynny’r anghyfiawnder roedd Cymru a’r Gymraeg yn ei ddioddef dan law’r Awdurdodau.

Angharad Tomos’ heartfelt script brings to life this passionate, yet humble and very personal story, that served as a revolutionary example in Saunders Lewis’ famous radio lecture of 1962, The Fate of the Language. It takes us on a journey to remember the sacrifice that this young couple made in their fight for fairness for the Welsh language. Writer / Awdur: Angharad Tomos Director / Cyfarwyddwr: Elen Bowman

Mae Dyled Eileen yn olrhain hanes safiad Eileen a Trefor Beasley yn erbyn biliau trethi Saesneg a’r frwydr hir a berwyd iddynt golli eu heiddo bron iawn i gyd i’r beilïaid wrth iddynt glirio’r parlwr ddarn wrth ddarn. Mae portread Angharad Tomos yn dod â chyfnod cythryblus y 50au yn fyw – cyn darlith radio enwog Saunders Lewis – ac yn ein tywys i gofio aberth y cwpwl yma a’u brwydr dros y Gymraeg.

Dubious political dealings, a rioting populace, mishandled money, panic – sound familiar?

Trafodion gwleidyddol amheus, poblogaeth derfysglyd, arian yn cael ei gam-drafod, panig – swnio’n gyfarwydd?

The Government Inspector is one of the world’s most famous plays. Written in 1835 and set in Tsarist Russia, it is a classic satire on human vanity. By turns hilarious and vicious in its exposé of corruption among those in power, this masterpiece seems made for the times we live in. This fast-paced, raucously entertaining black comedy features an electrifying cast and live Balkanfused music including electric balalaikas and mouth organs!

Yn ddoniol a milain am yn ail, wrth ddatguddio llygredd y rhai mewn grym, dyma gampwaith ar gyfer ein oes ni. Comedi tywyll, cyflym, aflafar gyda chast gwefreiddiol a cherddoriaeth fyw yn llawn dylanwadau Balkan gyda balalaicas trydan ac organau ceg!

Following its sell-out success, Wasted returns to the Sherman. A play about life, love and losing your mind. Three old friends. One remarkable day. For Ted, Danny and Charlotte, life will never be the same.

Daw Wasted yn ôl i’r Sherman yn dilyn ei berfformiad hynod o lwyddiannus y llynedd. Drama am gariad, bywyd a cholli’ch pwyll. Tri hen ffrind. Un diwrnod hynod. I Ted, Danny a Charlotte, ni fydd bywyd fyth yr un peth.

A day-glo trip through the parks, raves and cafes of South London, where life is what you make it, Wasted paints a picture of lives less ordinary in an unforgiving world. Kate Tempest is an exciting young writer, poet and performer, currently serving up a storm in the UK hiphop scene with her band Sound Of Rum. An exhilarating soundtrack accompanies this dynamic staging of her debut play.

Taith liwgar yw Wasted trwy barciau, rêfs a chaffis De Llundain, ble gall bywyd fod beth bynnag yr ydych chi am iddo fod. Ceir darlun o fywydau llai cyffredin mewn byd anfaddeuol. Mae Kate Tempest yn awdures, bardd a pherfformiwr ifanc gyffrous, sy’n gwneud enw mawr iddi’i hun yn sîn hip-hop y DU ar hyn o bryd gyda’i band, Sound Of Rum. Mae’r llwyfannu deinamig ar gyfer ei drama gyntaf i gyfeiliant caneuon cyffrous.

I ddathlu’r tro cyntaf iddynt ddychwelyd i’r Sherman, mae Richard Alston Dance Company yn cychwyn eu cyflwyniad gyda’r sioe gyfareddol Shimmer.

Martin Lawrance has created Madcap, a startlingly original piece with music by New York band, Bang on a Can All-Stars. Richard Alston’s iconic Roughcut is danced to the peals of Steve Reich’s shimmering New York and Electric Counterpoints for clarinet and guitar. If you could take only one piece of dance to a desert island, this would be it.

Michelangelo: painter, sculptor, architect, engineer and poet – the original, and perhaps ultimate, Renaissance man.

Michelangelo: peintiwr, cerflunydd, pensaer, peiriannydd a bardd – Dyn gwreiddiol y Dadeni ac efallai pwysicaf.

Michelangelo Drawing Blood delves into the forces that drove his genius – an obsession with human anatomy, a passionate response to the male body and an equally intense Christian faith. 21st century theatre meets 16th century culture as three male performers bring to life the fluid twists and turns of Michelangelo’s drawings accompanied by music composed by Charlie Barber and performed live on Renaissance instruments.

Mae Michelangelo Drawing Blood yn twrio’n ddwfn i’r grymoedd a fu’n gyrru’r athrylith hwn – obsesiwn ag anatomi’r corff, ymateb angerddol i’r corff gwrywaidd a ffydd Gristnogol yr un mor ddwys. Daw theatr yr 21ain ganrif wynebyn-wyneb â diwylliant yr 16eg ganrif wrth i dri pherfformiwr gwrywaidd roi anadl einioes i droeon trwstan darluniau Michelangelo i gyfeiliant cerddoriaeth a gyfansoddwyd gan Charlie Barber ac a berfformir yn fyw ar offerynnau’r Dadeni.

Michelangelo Drawing Blood offers a theatrical experience with a difference.

Mae Michelangelo Drawing Blood yn cynnig profiad theatrig amgen.

Two Men. Two World Wars. Two lives knitted together as tight as a thrice darned sock.

Dau Ddyn. Dau Ryfel Byd. Dau fywyd wedi eu cydblethu mor dynn â hosan a ddarniwyd deirgwaith.

Bound together by birth, business and bloody bad luck, Albert and Harold Steptoe wake up every morning to the same old, same old, sickening sight of each other. Do they even notice the world turning as they cling on? There are ladies, if they would only look around them, and space travel… and Cliff Richard!

Wedi eu clymu trwy enedigaeth, busnes ac anffawd, mae Albert a Harold Steptoe yn dihuno bob dydd i’r un hen olygfa gyfoglyd – ei gilydd. Ydyn nhw’n sylwi ar y byd yn troi wrth iddyn nhw ymbalfalu i ddal gafael? Mae yna ferched, petai’r ddau ond yn cymryd yr amser i edrych o’u cwmpas, a theithio trwy’r gofod… a Cliff Richard!

Adapted from the legendary scripts of Galton and Simpson, Steptoe and Son charts the surprising dance of father and son. Darkly comic and deeply moving, this is a 20th century icon, reimagined for a new generation.

Mae’n olrhain y syndod o ddawns rhwng tad a mab. Dyma gomedi tywyll o angerdd dwys, sy’n eicon o’r 20fed ganrif o’r newydd ar gyfer cenhedlaeth newydd.

From its home in Cornwall, Kneehigh Theatre has built a reputation for creating vigorous and popular theatre for audiences worldwide. We’re delighted to welcome them to the Sherman for the first time.

O’i chartref yng Nghernyw, mae Kneehigh Theatre wedi meithrin enw da am greu theatr fywiog a phoblogaidd ar gyfer cynulleidfaoedd ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig a thu hwnt, ac rydyn ni wrth ein boddau i’w croesawu i’r Sherman am y tro cyntaf.

“ That’s why they come to the hairdressers – because they want to be changed. But if you wanna change y’ have to do it from the inside, don’t y’?” Rita is unhappy with her job and the low expectations of those around her. She wants to know ‘everything’, so embarks on an Open University course in English Literature which will change her life forever.

Mae Rita yn anhapus gyda’i gwaith a disgwyliadau isel y rheiny o’i chwmpas. Mae am wybod ‘popeth’ ac felly mae’n cychwyn ar gwrs gyda’r Brifysgol Agored mewn Llenyddiaeth Saesneg a wnaith newid ei bywyd am byth.

Thought-provoking, funny and moving, Educating Rita is a comic masterpiece and a modern stage classic.

Mae Educating Rita yn gampwaith doniol a theimladwy sy’n procio’r meddwl ac yn glasur modern.

Originally commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1980, Educating Rita ran for over two years in the West End. It subsequently became a BAFTA award-winning film starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters. Educating Rita is directed by Emma Lucia following her successful production of A Doll’s House which was performed by Clwyd Theatr Cymru at the Sherman last year.

By / Gan: Willy Russell Director / Cyfarwyddwr: Emma Lucia Designer / Dylunydd: Max Jones

Fe’i comisiynwyd yn wreiddiol gan Royal Shakespeare Company ym 1980, ac fe fu’n rhedeg am dros ddwy flynedd yn y West End. Yna, daeth yn ffilm a enillodd wobrau BAFTA gyda Michael Caine a Julie Walters yn chwarae’r prif rannau. Cyfarwyddir gan Emma Lucia, yn dilyn ei chynhyrchiad llwyddiannus o A Doll’s House gan Henrik Ibsen yn Sherman Cymru y llynedd.

Using a five-piece band on stage, a European ensemble and an array of theatrical styles, New International Encounter brings you the story of Maria Michaliovna, at one moment an old lady sitting in her flat, in the next, a young girl dancing in the park.

Gyda band pum-offeryn ar y llwyfan, ensemble Ewropeaidd ac amrywiaeth eang o arddulliau theatraidd, mae New International Encounter yn cyflwyno stori Maria Michaliovna, un funud yn hen fenyw fach yn eistedd yn ei fflat, a’r funud nesaf yn ferch ifanc yn dawnsio yn y parc.

The Herald Angel and Total Theatre Award-winning production Past Half Remembered is a madcap journey through the epic sweep of twentieth century Russian history. The Reds and the Whites do battle, the Germans invade, tea is served from a samovar and there is a very big wedding while actors change roles and get confused about which side they are on! Don’t miss your chance to take this comic, tragic and absurd journey through the Soviet Century. Director / Cyfarwyddwr: Alex Byrne

Fresh from his success with For Once (Pentabus Theatre at Sherman Cymru) and The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning (National Theatre Wales), playwright Tim Price’s funny, lyrical play about love, loss and the power of belief is set against the backdrop of the North Pembrokeshire coast.

This rags to riches story tells of a young girl escaping the drudgery of the Llanelli tin works and her struggle to reach the highest pinnacle of showbiz, ending with her sad demise, penniless back in the valleys of Wales.

Hanes merch ifanc sy’n dianc rhag diflastod y gwaith tun yn Llanelli, a’i brwydr i gyrraedd pinacl uchaf y diwydiant adloniant, cyn gorffen yn ôl yng nghymoedd y De, ble fu farw mewn tlodi.

Dorothy Squires was one of Britain’s most successful performers. Her life was often the focus of media attention; her electrifying on-stage presence, her sell-out comeback concerts at the London Palladium and her tempestuous marriage to Roger Moore, were overshadowed by her predilection for litigation and battles with Rupert Murdoch, resulting in her being made a vexatious litigant. Written by Meic Povey and Johnny Tudor, Say It With Flowers features some of Dot’s best loved songs. Everyone loves a fighter and Dorothy certainly did it her way – but where did it all go wrong?

Dorothy Squires oedd un o berfformwyr mwyaf llwyddiannus Prydain, a’i bywyd yn aml yn denu sylw’r cyfryngau. ‘Roedd ei phresenoldeb trydanol ar lwyfan, ei chyngherddau llwyddiannus yn y Palladium yn Llundain, a’i phriodas tymhestlog gyda Roger Moore, oll yn pylu yng nghysgod ei hobsesiwn o ymgyfreitha a’i brwydrau â Rupert Murdoch, a hithau yn y pendraw yn dod yn ‘ymgyfreithiwr flinderus’. Meic Povey a Johnny Tudor yw awduron Say It With Flowers, ac mae’n cynnwys rhai o hoff ganeuon Dot. Mae pawb wrth eu bodd yn gweld rhywun yn brwydro, ac yn sicr dyma wnaeth Dorothy yn ei ffordd ddihafal ei hun.

Award-winning comedian and science enthusiast Robin Ince follows up his Happiness Through Science show with a look at his favourite scientists – Charles Darwin and Richard Feynman. Find out why we have eyebrows, why bald dogs have bad teeth, how heavy metal music makes pigs deaf and why spaghetti snaps into four pieces. It is a loving look into the minds of two giants of human imagination who changed our world view.

Dyma’r comedïwr gwobrwyol Robin Ince, sy’n gwirioni ar wyddoniaeth, yn cyflwyno dilyniant i’w sioe Happiness Through Science, gyda golwg ar rai o’i hoff wyddonwyr – Charles Darwin a Richard Feynman. Dewch i ddarganfod pam fod gennym aeliau, pam fod gan gŵn moel ddannedd gwael, sut mae cerddoriaeth ‘heavy metal’ yn gwneud moch yn fyddar, a pham fod sbageti wastad yn torri’n bedwar darn. Dyma gipolwg hoffus ar feddyliau dau o gewri’r dychymyg fu’n gyfrifol am newid y ffordd ‘rydym yn edrych ar y byd.

He’ll also stop off on the way to look at some of the more bizarre views of early science – is the ostrich really the offspring of the union of a gnat and a giraffe? (No). A night of spaghetti, barnacles and safe cracking.

Bydd hefyd yn cymryd saib, o bryd i’w gilydd, i gael golwg ar rai o’r syniadau rhyfedd oedd yn bodoli yn nyddiau cynnar gwyddoniaeth – ai’r estrys yw epil y gwybedyn a’r jiraff? (Na). Noson o sbageti, cregyn llong a llond bol o chwerthin.

Following last year’s successful visit, Diary of a Madman returns to the Sherman.

Yn dilyn ymweliad llwyddiannus y llynedd, daw Diary of a Madman yn ôl i’r Sherman.

1830s Russia. Poprishchin – a low ranking civil servant for the Government – is in his 40s and struggling to make his mark on life. One day he makes an amazing discovery. Could he really be the next King of Spain?

Rwsia yn y 1830au. Mae Poprishchin yn ei 40au – gwas sifil â swydd digon cyffredin yn y Llywodraeth, yn ymdrechu i adael ei ôl ar fywyd, ond un diwrnod mae’n darganfod rhywbeth anhygoel. Ai ef yw brenin nesaf Sbaen?

Driven insane by government bureaucracy and hierarchy, Gogol’s dark comedy exposes one man’s reality spiralling deeper into a surreal fantasy world.

Mae comedi tywyll Gogol yn archwilio realiti un dyn sy’n disgyn yn is ac yn is i fyd o ffantasi swreal.

Considered by many to be Gogol’s best work, Diary of a Madman is a timeless piece that explores the human condition when it comes face to face with its own mortality. By / Gan: Nikolai Gogol Director / Cyfarwyddwr: Sinéad Rushe

I lawer, Diary of a Madman yw gwaith gorau Gogol ac mae’n ddarn oesol sy’n archwilio’r cyflwr dynol pan ddaw wyneb-yn-wyneb â’i farwoldeb ei hun.

Aston’s Stones is about a little dog who wants to take care of all the stones he can find. Some are big and some are small, one is sad and another one feels cold. All of them need to be taken care of. Every stone gets to follow Aston home and is greeted with a warm and cosy bed. His parents, although very patient and understanding, gradually get more and more worried about the increasing number of stones in their living room.

Mae Aston’s Stones yn adrodd hanes ci bach sydd am ofalu am yr holl gerrig y gall ddod o hyd iddynt. Mae rhai’n fawr ac eraill yn fach, mae un yn drist ac un yn teimlo’r oer. Mae angen gofalu am bob un ohonynt. Caiff bob carreg ddilyn Aston adref a chael gwely clyd a chynnes. Yn raddol, er eu hamynedd a’u dealltwriaeth, mae ei rieni’n poeni fwyfwy am y nifer cynyddol o gerrig yn eu hystafell fyw.

This gentle story is about how important it is to see and appreciate the value in even the smallest things.

Stori dyner am bwysigrwydd trugaredd a’r gallu i weld gwerth hyd yn oed y pethau lleiaf.

Twisting perception of what dance is, who can dance and who enjoys it – Candoco presents an evening of three diverse dance works.

Gan wyrdroi ein syniad arferol am ddawns, pwy sy’n gallu a phwy sy’n mwynhau dawnsio – mae Candoco yn cyflwyno tri darn amrywiol.

Set and Reset/Reset is a restaging of one of Trisha Brown’s signature works, which confirmed her as a pioneer of contemporary dance. Set to the original upbeat, contagious Laurie Anderson score, this is a fluid, joyful work of pure dance.

Mae Set and Reset/Reset yn aillwyfaniad o un o ddarnau unigryw Trisha Brown, un o arloeswyr y byd dawns cyfoes. I sgôr wreiddiol, fywiog a heintus Laurie Anderson, mae’r ddawns bur hon yn llifo.

Following his Evening Standard Theatre Award for The Most Incredible Thing with the Pet Shop Boys, choreographer Javier de Frutos returns to Candoco with Studies for C. Inspired by the poetry of Tennessee Williams and set to traditional Mexican Ranchera music, this duet is a celebration of difference and rebellion.

Yn sgil ennill Gwobr Theatr yr Evening Standard am The Most Incredible Thing gyda’r Pet Shop Boys, mae’r coreograffydd Javier de Frutos yn dychwelyd at Candoco gyda Studies for C. Ysbrydolwyd y ddeuawd hon, sy’n dathlu gwahaniaeth a gwrthryfel, gan farddoniaeth Tennessee Williams, ac fe’i gosodir i gerddoriaeth draddodiadol Ranchera Mecsico.

Rounding off the evening is Imperfect Storm devised by renowned theatre and dance artist Wendy Houstoun. This piece, loosely based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, effortlessly combines movement with text and meaning with humour.

I ddiweddu’r noson ceir Imperfect Storm, a ddyfeisiwyd gan yr artist theatr a dawns enwog, Wendy Houstoun. Dyma ddarn sydd wedi’i seilio, i raddau, ar The Tempest gan Shakespeare, ac mae’n cyfuno symudiadau a thestun ac ystyr a hiwmor yn gwbl ddiymdrech.

Three plays about power, belonging and independence, inspired by the dark corners and open spaces of the Capital.

Tair drama am bwer, perthyn ac annibynniaeth barn, wedi eu hysbrydoli gan gorneli tywyll a mannau mawr agored y Brifddinas.

Llwch O’r Pileri

The Swastika is flying above and the jackboot is pounding the pavements. Welcome to Wales in 1958, shining star of the Reich and World Cup Winners. But the Führer is on his way to Cardiff to celebrate and a teacher has just hours to save the souls of her pupils. But how do you succeed in a world where friends are enemies and everyone’s a traitor?

Mae’r Swastica yn hedfan a’r jacbwt yn pwnio’r palmentydd. Croeso i Gymru 1958, Seren y Reich ac ennillwyr Cwpan y Byd. Ond mae’r Führer ar ei ffordd i Gaerydd i ddathlu ac oriau’n unig sydd gan athrawes i arbed enaid ei disgyblion. Ond sut mae llwyddo mewn byd lle mae cyfaill yn elyn a phawb yn fradwr?

Myfanwy Yn Y Moorlands

When a woman finds herself on Cardiff’s shapeshifting streets, she meets a young stranger intent on taking her on a fantastic journey. But can she tell the difference between reality and illusion?

Pan mae menyw yn canfod ei hun ar strydoedd simsanog Caerdydd, mae’n cwrdd â dieithryn ifanc sy’n mynd â hi ar wibdaith ffantasïol. Ond beth sy’n wir a beth sy’n rhith?

Traed Bach Concrit

Lowri and Fflur are enjoying the best seats to witness Cardiff’s destruction. But will protecting the past prove more important than starting again?

Mae Fflur a Lowri’n mwynhau’r seddi gorau yn arcêd Dewi Sant i wylio dinistr y brifddinas. Ond a fydd gwarchod y gorffennol yn dynfa gryfach na dechrau eto, yn y pendraw?

Theatre / Theatr: 1

Time / Amser: 6.30pm & 7.45pm

Tickets / Tocynnau: £5 one show / un sioe £8 two shows on the same evening / dau sioe ar yr un noson

For over 25 years the Schools’ Dance Association has brought together schools from all over Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan for an annual Dance Festival at the Sherman Theatre. The creativity, imagination, ideas and energy which stem from a common theme each year, with a wide variety of dance genres, provide a wonderful opportunity for the pupils to perform in a live theatre, with all the excitement and enhancement that brings. It also gives teachers and dance-club leaders the opportunity to showcase the excellent practice in dance which exists in our schools.

Ers dros 25 mlynedd, mae Schools’ Dance Association wedi dod ag ysgolion o bob cwr o Gaerdydd a Bro Morgannwg at ei gilydd ar gyfer Gŵyl Ddawns flynyddol yn Theatr y Sherman. Mae’r ŵyl yn agored i bob ysgol ac mae disgyblion pedair i ddeunaw oed yn gallu cymryd rhan! Mae’r creadigrwydd, y dychymyg, y syniadau a’r egni sy’n deillio o thema gyffredin bob blwyddyn, gydag amrywiaeth eang o genres dawns, yn gyfle gwych i’r disgyblion berfformio mewn theatr fyw, gyda holl gyffro a chyfoeth y profiad hwnnw. Mae hefyd yn rhoi cyfle i athrawon ac arweinwyr clybiau dawns i arddangos yr arfer rhagorol ym maes dawns sy’n bodoli o fewn ein hysgolion.

This year’s theme is Inspiration and it will certainly live up to its name.

To Live, To Love, To Be Sherman Cymru, Company 5 Date / Dyddiad: 17–20 April / Ebrill

Theatre / Theatr: 2 Production performed in / Iaith y perfformiad: English / Saesneg Post-show talk / Trafodaeth wedi-sioe: 17 April / Ebrill @ShermanCymru

Time / Amser: 8.00pm

Tickets / Tocynnau: £8 Concessions / Gostyngiadau: £2 off / £2 i ffwrdd Under 25s / Dan 25: Half Price / Hanner Pris

Shakespeare was a great wordsmith, with a voice both lyrical and penetrating. But he was also an incomparable observer, a man whose eyes and ears never missed a trick. So what were the voices he heard, the sights he saw? And how did they become the words and images we love so much?

Heb os, saer geiriau gwych oedd Shakespeare ac roedd ganddo lais telynegol a threiddgar. Ond roedd hefyd yn ddyn nad oedd yn colli unrhyw beth â’i lygaid a’i glustiau’n effro. Felly beth oedd y lleisiau a glywodd, y golygfeydd a welodd? A sut ddaeth y rhain i fod yn eiriau a delweddau sydd mor annwyl i ni?

This unique performance by a company drawn from across the community explores what thoughts, memories and imaginings may have shaped the man and his words. How different might those perceptions be when viewed through the lens of youth, success or death? The company have created a work which blends beautiful imagery with down-to-earth storytelling and poetic humour.

Mae’r perfformiad hwn gan gwmni o berfformwyr o bob cwr o’r gymuned yn archwilio’r meddyliau, yr atgofion a’r tybiadau a allai fod wedi dylanwadu ar y dyn a’i eiriau. Pa mor wahanol allai’r canfyddiadau hynny fod o’u gweld trwy lygaid ieuenctid, llwyddiant neu farwolaeth? Mae’r cwmni wedi creu gwaith sy’n cytgordio delweddau hardd gyda storïa cyffredin a hiwmor barddonol.

Inspired by a true story, this modern opera is set in the microcosm of a busy airport on one particular day. The interactions and relationships of a disparate group of passengers are set alongside the isolation of one displaced member of society who has taken refuge there.

Mae’r opera fodern hon a ysbrydolwyd gan stori wir wedi ei gosod ym microcosm maes awyr prysur yn ystod un diwrnod penodol. Ceir rhyngweithiad a pherthnasoedd grŵp amrywiol o deithwyr, ochr yn ochr ag unigedd un aelod o’r gymdeithas sydd wedi colli ei ffordd mewn bywyd ac wedi cael lloches yno.

Artists’ Development Datblygu Artistiaid

Lucid

Would access to resources, rehearsal spaces and advice from our team of skilled professionals move your artistic practice into a new realm? This initiative has already helped a number of arts practitioners to develop their craft in new and exciting ways and we’re currently seeking applications for development projects from artists involved in all areas of performance. Get in touch to see how we might be able to help you.

Lucid continues its innovative Live Feed programme of artist engagement and development. Led by director Simon Harris, Lucid offers a range of opportunities for independent theatre-makers to develop their capacity through dialogue, mentoring and reflection. This season sees Lucid extending its programme of Open Space events, offering a platform for artists to discuss ideas and burning questions, initiating Creative Walks – mentoring emerging artists – and working towards The Social – a meeting ground for artists to swap experiences and share ideas.

New ideas welcome! Byddai cael mynediad at adnoddau, gofod i ymarfer a chyngor gan ein tîm o bobl broffesiynol medrus yn gymorth i chi fynd â’ch arfer artistig i dir newydd? Mae’r fenter hon wedi helpu nifer fawr o ymarferwyr celfyddydol i ddatblygu eu crefft mewn ffyrdd newydd a chyffrous, ac ar hyn o bryd ‘rydym yn edrych am geisiadau ar gyfer prosiectau datblygu gan artistiaid sy’n gweithio ym mhob agwedd ar berfformio.

Yn ystod y tymor hwn, mae Lucid yn ymestyn ei raglen o ddigwyddiadau Gofod Agored, gan gynnig llwyfan i artistiaid drafod syniadau a chwestiynau allweddol, cychwyn ar Deithiau Creadigol – mentora artistiaid sy’n dod i’r amlwg – a gweithio tuag at The Social – tir cyfarfod i artistiaid gyfnewid profiadau a rhannu syniadau.

Advanced Writers Course Rhaglen Awduron Uwch Behind the scenes at Sherman Cymru there’s a team of people helping writers to find their voice, develop their work and produce the very best new plays from Wales. Projects like ScriptSlam and our Young Writers Project give people an opportunity to write for the stage for the first time whereas our writers’ courses help playwrights develop key skills and complete a short play. Throughout the year, our Literary and Artistic teams are focussed on discovering and nurturing writers of all levels of experience. We also provide short courses, talks and events. See Sherman Cymru’s website for future events coming up soon. Tu ôl i’r llenni yn Sherman Cymru, mae yna dîm o bobl sy’n helpu awduron i ddod o hyd i’w llais, datblygu eu gwaith a chynhyrchu’r dramâu newydd gorau oll o Gymru. Trwy brosiectau fel ScriptSlam a’n Prosiect Awduron Ifanc, mae pobl yn cael cyfle i ysgrifennu ar gyfer y llwyfan am y tro cyntaf, ac mae ein cyrsiau i awduron hefyd yn helpu sgriptwyr i ddatblygu sgiliau allweddol ac i ysgrifennu drama fer. Trwy gydol y flwyddyn, mae ein timau Llenyddol ac Artistig yn canolbwyntio ar ddarganfod awduron newydd o bob lefel o brofiad, a’u meithrin. Rydym hefyd yn darparu cyrsiau byr, cyflwyniadau a digwyddiadau. Gweler gwefan Sherman Cymru am ddigwyddiadau sydd ar droed.

For a six month period, ten promising writers are handpicked by us to be part of an attachment to Sherman Cymru involving group theatre visits, intensive monthly sessions and special events, all for free. They are currently writing plays which we are looking forward to reading in the next few months! Our ten playwrights during 2012/13 are: Am gyfnod o chwe mis, mae deg awdur addawol yn cael eu dewis gennym i fod yn atodiad i Sherman Cymru sy’n cynnwys ymweliadau theatr fel grŵp, sesiynau dwys misol a digwyddiadau arbennig, gyda’r cyfan yn rhad ac am ddim. Ar hyn o bryd, maen nhw’n ysgrifennu dramâu yr ydym yn edrych ymlaen at eu darllen yn yr ychydig fisoedd nesaf! Ein deg dramodydd ar gyfer 2012/13 yw:

Neil Bebber Ralph Bolland Georgia Coles-Riley Matthew Glyn David Harris

Paul Jenkins Siân Owen Siân Price Lotty Talbutt Tom Wentworth

Ralph Bolland Writer / Awdur It’s been a terrific experience for me and a wonderful opportunity: to meet other writers, share work, brainstorm ideas. Always enjoyable, sometimes just talking to your peers is enough for the solitary writer usually stuck in his/her garret. I loved it and I’ll miss my Saturday sessions, but I’ve made good friends and set off a stack of ideas. Mae wedi bod yn brofiad anhygoel i mi ac yn gyfle gwych: i gwrdd ag awduron eraill, rhannu gwaith a thaflu syniadau. Pleser bob tro. Weithiau mae sgwrs fach gyda chyfoedion yn ddigon i’r awdur unig sy’n sownd yn ei groglofft. Mae Roeddwn i wrth fy modd ac mi fydda i’n gweld eisiau’r sesiynau Sadwrn, ond rydw i wedi gwneud ffrindiau da ac wedi sbarduno llond lle o syniadau.

Spread the Word Gair ar Led

What’s going on... Beth Sy’n Digwydd

Since September 2011, we have been working with 80 writers from all over Wales on eight courses in both English and Welsh as part of our Spread the Word initiative, bringing playwriting opportunities to your doorstep. With the help of our fantastic partner theatre companies and buildings in each location, writers have already completed courses at Caernarfon, Aberystwyth, Milford Haven and Neath and Mold. Our final Spread the Word course will be at Blackwood in the Spring of 2013. See our website for more details. Ers mis Medi 2011, rydym wedi bod yn gweithio gydag 80 o awduron o bob rhan o Gymru ar wyth cwrs, yn y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg, fel rhan o’n menter Gair ar Led, gan ddod â chyfleon sgriptio at eich drws. Gyda chymorth cwmnïau theatr gwych sy’n bartneriaid i ni, ac adeiladau ym mhob lleoliad, mae awduron eisoes wedi cwblhau cyrsiau yng Nghaernarfon, Aberystwyth, Aberdaugleddau, Castell-nedd a’r Wyddgrug. Cynhelir ein cwrs Gair ar Led diwethaf yn y Coed Duon yng Ngwanwyn 2013. Gweler ein gwefan am fanylion pellach.

Sherman Swingers Last July we filled the building with writers, directors and actors for an amazing Sherman Swingers weekend, and we’ll be doing it all over again this year too, so watch this space! Fis Gorffennaf diwethaf, llenwyd yr adeilad ag awduron, cyfarwyddwyr ac actorion ar gyfer penwythnos anhygoel Sherman Swingers, ac fe fyddwn yn gwneud yr un peth eto eleni, felly byddwch yn barod! Playtexts We have created a number of Playtexts to coincide with our productions, these are on sale through our Ticketing and Reception desk, on our website or from the Welsh Book Council. Rydym wedi argraffu nifer o Ddramau i fynd law yn llaw gyda’n cynyrchiadau, ac maen nhw ar werth trwy’r Swyddfa Docynnau ar ein gwefan neu gan Gyngor Llyfrau Cymru.

Ruth Lloyd Spread the Word / Gair ar Led The process is great, the atmosphere is positive, we are a bunch of people from a variety of ages, backgrounds and aspirations but the intention is to put pen to paper and write. Mae’r broses yn wych, yr awyrgylch yn bositif, rydym yn griw o bobl o gefndiroedd gwahanol iawn, yn gymysg o oedran a gwahanol dyheadau ond yr un yw’r bwriad sef bwrw pen at bapur a sgrifennu.

Yma yn Sherman Cymru, rydyn ni’n ymdrechu trwy’r amser i ostwng ein heffaith ar yr amgylchedd.

We recycle as much of our waste as we can, including food waste, plastics, paper; we even recycle our sets! Mathew our carpenter pulls our old sets apart and selects the bits we can re-use.

Rydyn ni’n ailgylchu cymaint o’n gwastraff â phosib, gan gynnwys gwastraff bwyd, plastig a phapur; a hyd yn oed yn ailgylchu ein setiau! Mae Mathew, ein saer coed, yn tynnu ein hen setiau yn ddarnau ac yn dewis y darnau y gallwn eu hailddefnyddio.

If you are attending a performance, please consider travelling by public transport – If you are travelling by bicycle we have plenty of cycle parking facilities on Senghennydd Road with our new Pink Cycle hoops which stop your bicycle toppling over. We are near Cathays railway station, and only 10 minutes from Queen Street railway station. The number 35 bus runs from outside the building, and if you ask our reception staff they have a widget installed on their computers which gives information about what time the next bus will arrive. We are working very hard to reduce our impact on the environment, but we can do even better with your help! If you have any suggestions please let us know.

Os ydych chi’n dod i berfformiad, a wnewch chi ystyried teithio ar drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus? Rydyn ni’n agos i orsaf drenau Cathays, a phrin 10 munud o orsaf drenau Heol y Frenhines. Os ydych chi’n dod ar eich beic, mae yma ddigonedd o gyfleusterau parcio beic ar Ffordd Senghennydd gyda’n Cylchoedd Beic Pinc sy’n cadw’ch beic ar i fyny. Mae bws rhif 35 yn codi teithwyr o du allan i’r adeilad, ac os ofynnwch chi i staff y dderbynfa mae ganddynt declyn ar eu cyfrifiaduron sy’n dweud pryd mae’r bws nesaf yn cyrraedd. Rydyn ni’n gweithio’n galed iawn i ostwng ein heffaith ar yr amgylchedd, ond fe allwn ni wneud mwy eto gyda’ch cymorth chi! Os oes unrhyw awgrymiadau gennych, cofiwch ddweud.
