WELCOME I am very pleased to be able to introduce my first season here at Theatr Brycheiniog as Chief Executive. I’m looking forward to welcoming you at some point during the season as I start to get to know many of you I hope. We have a busy few months ahead with a mix of our regular community hires and a great range of professional productions too.

We welcome back the Westenders with their pantomime Red Riding Hood, featuring many familiar faces, closely followed by Brecknock Young Farmers who will be holding their annual festival with us once more. Showcasing younger local talent will be Brecon High School, who make a welcome return to us this year with their production of the stage musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Other productions I would like to draw your attention to include Theatr Pena’s production of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie which will bring an imaginative new look to this American classic. Also worth looking out for is Olivier nominee Gerald Logan’s performance of Wilde Without The Boy & The Ballad of Reading Gaol.

This is just the icing on the cake, delve deeper in to the brochure and you will find all the ingredients I hope to tempt your appetite for more.

As funding constraints really start to be felt with reductions in some grants, we at Theatr Brycheiniog have to find new ways to generate income. With this in mind, I am asking for your help. From April, we have decided to re-launch The Friends of Theatr Brycheiniog once more. This is a fantastic way to show your support, as well as an opportunity to become more closely involved with us here. For those of you who want to join us this will give opportunities for priority booking on selected events, invitations to special Friend’s events and activities throughout the year, various discounts and advance news of future events as well as discounts and savings on Booking Fees on most performances. This could also make a wonderful gift for someone who cares about Theatr Brycheiniog. Further details will be available soon.

In the short time I have been here, I have been overwhelmed by the positive comments from the community and our supporters here in Powys and the surrounding area.

MARTYN GREEN Chief Executive

Yn yr amser byr y bûm yma, mae wedi bod yn drawiadol iawn cynifer o sylwadau cadarnhaol a dderbyniais oddi wrth unigolion yn y gymuned leol ac oddi wrth ein cefnogwyr yma ym Mhowys a’r fro gyfagos.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE

An absent father, a domineering mother, a daughter lost in a world of her own and a son intent on leaving – a family struggling to survive on fragile dreams. Theatr Pena’s imaginative production promises to bring something fresh to this timeless and profoundly moving American classic by one of the greatest 20th Century playwrights.

Tad wedi diflannu, mam ormesol, merch ar goll yn ei byd bach ei hun a mab sydd a’i fryd ar ymadael – teulu yn ymdrechu i oroesi ar ddim ond breuddwydion brau. Mae cynhyrchiad llawn dychymyg Theatr Pena yn addo dod â newydd-deb i’r clasur Americanaidd tu hwnt i amser tra teimladwy hwn gan un o ddramodwyr pennaf yr ugeinfed ganrif.

MARK BEAUMONT AFRICA SOLO

Best known as a cyclist, Mark has circumnavigated the globe, pedalled the length of the Americas and recently smashed the Cairo to Cape Town record. Africa Solo is a story of extreme endurance but most of all it is a story about people - his team back in the UK and the incredible people of Africa. Join us for this heart-warming account of a continent that is often portrayed for the wrong reasons and Mark’s unwavering ambition to push his limits.

Yn fwyaf adnabyddus am farchogaeth beic, mae Mark wedi cylchdeithio’r byd, wedi marchogaeth ei feic o un pen cyfandir America i’r llall ac yn fwyaf diweddar wedi torri’r record am feicio o Cairo Cape Town. Mae Africa Solo yn stori o oroesi eithafol ond yn anad dim arall yn hanes y bobl a gyfarfu – hanes ei dîm yn ôl yn y DU a’r bobl ryfeddol a gyfarfu ar ei daith yn Affrica. Ymunwch â ni i glywed hanes twym-galon ynghylch y cyfandir sy’n aml yn cael sylw am y rhesymau anghywir ac uchelgais tanbaid Mark i’w wthio ei hun hyd yr eithaf.

ICARUS THEATRE

TRIALS OF GALILEO Focusing on the events surrounding Galileo’s heresy trial in 1633, Trials Of Galileo is a witty, chilling and passionate one-man rollercoaster.

His reprimand by Pope Urban is Galileo’s tragedy, a mistaken belief that if he supplied the church with proof, he would enlighten the world while escaping persecution. He understood the science better than any man alive, but never grasped the politics until it was too late.

Meet three strong and individual women, who use stunning rich harmonies to sing about bare bones reality. Featuring a mix of raucous, sharp and witty comedy anthems, heartfelt original songs and relaxed honest chat expressing life for women of a certain age.

It’s a feel-good, uplifting evening that will have you laughing one moment, and crying the next.

Dewch i gyfarfod â thair menyw gref sy’n unigolion oll, a sy’n defnyddio harmonïau trawiadol coeth er mwyn canu ynghylch realiti ar ei fwyaf moel. Yn cynnwys cybolfa o anthemau ffraeth, doniol a swnllyd, caneuon gwreiddiol o’r galon a sgyrsiau di-flewyn-ardafod sy’n cyfeirio at fywyd menywod sydd wedi cyrraedd rhyw oedran arbennig, dyma noson gadarnhaol sy’n siwr o godi’ch calon a’ch cael i chwerthin un munud, ac wylo’r nesaf. ^

Gan ganolbwyntio ar y digwyddiadau o gylch prawf heresi Galileo ym 1633, mae Trials Of Galileo yn sioe un-dyn ffraeth, angerddol a dwys sy’n cyrraedd yr entrychion a phlymio i’r dyfnderoedd.

Yng ngherydd y Pab Wrban y ceir trasiedi Galileo, sef y gred y byddai’n osgoi ei gosbi o ddarparu prawf i’r eglwys; y byddai yn goleuo’r byd ac yn osgoi ei erlyn. Deallai’r wyddoniaeth yn well na’r un dyn byw, ond wnaeth e ddim deall y wleidyddiaeth tan ei bod hi’n rhy hwyr.
