Welcome to Theatr Brycheiniog’s Live Screenings Guide!
Croeso i Ganllaw Sgrinio Byw Theatr Brycheiniog!
We are delighted that Autumn 2018 marks the launch of Live Screenings here in Theatr Brycheiniog, and indeed Brecon. All screenings will be broadcast into our auditorium using brand new state of the art cinema equipment; we hope you can join us as we host a fantastic programme of titles from The Royal Opera House, Royal Ballet and of course National Theatre Live.
Our Waterfront will be open and serving a brand new menu of delicious pre-show light bites, please do book a table in advance to avoid any disappointment by calling Box Office on 01874 611622. Don’t forget you can also order those interval drinks from the Waterfront Bar, resulting in less time queuing and more time to relax with a cold glass of fizz. Do join us over the next few months and experience the magic of Covent Garden in the heart of the Brecon Beacons!
Rydym ni wrth ein bodd fod yr hydref 2018 yn nodi dechrau Sgrinio Byw yma yn Theatr Brycheiniog, ac, yn wir, yn Aberhonddu. Bydd pob sgriniad yn cael eu darlledu i’n hawditoriwm gan ddefnyddio offer sinema newydd sbon; gobeithio y gallwch ymuno â ni wrth i ni gynnal rhaglen ragorol o deitlau o’r Tŷ Opera Cenedlaethol, Bale Cenedlaethol ac, wrth gwrs, National Theatre Live.
Bydd ein Waterfront ar agor ac yn gweini bwydlen newydd sbon o ddanteithion ysgafn cyn y sioeau, byddai’n syniad archebu bwrdd ymlaen llaw er mwyn osgoi cael eich siomi, drwy ffonio’r Swyddfa Docynnau ar 01874 611622. Peidiwch ag anghofio y gallwch archebu diodydd ar gyfer yr egwyl o’r Bar Glandŵr, gan arwain at lai o amser mewn ciw, a mwy o gyfle i ymlacio gyda gwydraid oer o ddiod befriog. Ymunwch â ni dros y misoedd nesaf i brofi hudoliaeth Covent Garden yng nghanol Bannau Brycheiniog!

King Lear (Encore)
Tue 16 Oct | Maw 16 Hyd. 7.00pm. 12A Cert £17.50 | £15
Broadcast live from London’s West End, see Ian McKellen’s ‘extraordinarily moving portrayal’ (Independent) of William Shakespeare’s King Lear directed by Jonathan Munby. Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees two ageing fathers – one a King, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends. Dewch i wylio perfformiad hynod gynhyrfus Ian McKellen o Frenin Llŷr William Shakespeare, dan gyfarwyddyd Jonathan Munby, yn cael ei ddarlledu’n fyw o West End Llundain. Ystyrir mai King Lear yw’r drasiedi fwyaf i’w chyfansoddi erioed, ac yn y ddrama gwelir dau dad oedrannus – un yn frenin, un yn ŵr y llys – yn gwrthod y plant sydd wir yn eu caru. Mae’r dallineb hwn yn tanio corwynt o uchelgais a brad didostur, wrth i deulu a gwladwriaeth ddioddef brwydr dreisgar am rym, sy’n arwain at ddiweddglo chwerw ofnadwy.

Allelujah! (Encore)
Alan Bennett’s sharp and hilarious new play is filmed live at London’s Bridge Theatre during its limited run. The Beth, an old fashioned cradle-to-grave hospital serving a town on the edge of the Pennines, is threatened with closure as part of an efficiency drive. A documentary crew, eager to capture its fight for survival, follows the daily struggle to find beds on the Dusty Springfield Geriatric Ward, and the triumphs of the old people’s choir. Ffilmir drama graff a doniol newydd Alan Bennett yn fyw yn Theatr Bridge Llundain yn ystod cyfres gyfyngedig o berfformiadau. Mae’r Beth, ysbyty henffasiwn o’r crud i’r bedd, sy’n gwasanaethu tref ar gyrion y Pennines, dan fygythiad o gael ei gau fel rhan o ymgyrch effeithlonrwydd. Dilynir yr ymdrech feunyddiol i ddod o hyd i welyau ar Ward Henoed Dusty Springfield gan griw dogfen, sy’n awyddus i ddal y frwydr i oroesi, gan gynnwys buddugoliaethau’r côr pensiynwyr.

The Madness of George III Tue 20 Nov | Maw 20 Tach. 7.00pm £17.50 | £15
Multi-award-winning drama The Madness of George III will be broadcast live to cinemas, in National Theatre Live’s first ever broadcast from Nottingham Playhouse. Written by Alan Bennett, this epic play features Olivier Award-winners Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Wolf Hall), and Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey, Upstairs Downstairs). It’s 1786 and King George III is the most powerful man in the world. But his behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic as he succumbs to fits of lunacy. With the King’s mind unravelling at a dramatic pace, ambitious politicians and the scheming Prince of Wales threaten to undermine the power of the Crown, and expose the fine line between a King and a man. Darlledir y ddrama aml-wobr The Madness of George III yn fyw i sinemâu, yn y darllediad byw cyntaf gan National Theatre Live o’r Nottingham Playhouse. Mae’r cynhyrchiad, a gyfansoddwyd gan Alan Bennett, yn cynnwys yr enillwyr gwobrau Olivier Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Wolf Hall), ac Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey, Upstairs Downstairs). Mae hi’n 1786 a’r Brenin Siôr III yw’r dyn mwyaf grymus yn y byd. Ond mae’i ymddygiad yn dod yn fwyfwy anwadal wrth iddo ddioddef pyliau o wallgofrwydd. Wrth i feddwl y Brenin ymddatod ar gyflymder brawychus, mae gwleidyddion uchelgeisiol a Thywysog Cymru cynllwyngar yn bygwth tanseilio grym y Goron, a datgelu’r llinell denau sy’n bodoli rhwng bod yn Frenin a bod yn ddyn.

Yn sgil y daith i Wlad y Losin, ceir rhai o’r eiliadau enwocaf oll o fyd y bale, fel Dawns y Sugar Plum Fairy a Waltz y Blodau. Coreograffi: Peter Wright yn arddull Lev Ivanov.
