Neontopia’s brand new production, Tuck, is an exhilarating and multilingual blend of comedy, sequins and sorrow, which will raise the roof using much-loved anthems and original songs... before smashing it back down to earth.

A Neontopia production in collaboration with Wales Millennium Centre, supported by the Arts Council of Wales

Tuck yw cynhyrchiad deinamig, amlieithog newydd Neontopia, yn llawn gorfoledd a galar, sy'n addo codi’r tô gydag anthemau cyfarwydd a chaneuon gwreiddiol… cyn ei chwalu’n ddeilchion o'ch blaenau.
