ARDDERCHOG YN UNRHYW IAITH

Mae'r gofyniad o ddrama un act yw y dylai fod o leiaf yn cael celf ddramatig da. Adfywiad Aled Pedrick o Gwenlyn Parry glasur Y Tŵr yn gampwaith o fynegiant dramatig a llenyddol. Gyfrwys gyr ei fod yn amlwg ennyn diddordeb a fwriadwyd ac ymateb emosiynol gan gynulleidfa a gafodd ei swyno o'r dechrau i'r diwedd.

EXCELLENT IN ANY LANGUAGE



The requirement of a one act play is that it should at least be good

dramatic art. Aled Pedrick’s revival of Gwenlyn Parry’s classic The

Tower is a masterpiece of dramatic and literary expression. Cunningly

wrought it visibly provoked the intended interest and emotional response

 from an audience that was captivated from beginning to end.



Catherine Ayers and Steffan Donnelly are mesmerising as the couple going

HEY ALL!!

As some of you may have read the new TEAM panel had their first meeting this weekend. At the meeting we discussed having more social events so TEAM members can get to know each other.

Some clever clogs came up with the idea of having a monthly TEAM quiz night- Lots of fun, lots of prizes and a chance to meet new TEAM members.

The quiz night will happen in different locations each month

We are looking for a quiz master for our event - It…

I know this is severely late and now out of date - but it seemed a shame to let it go to waste. (I promise to make a resolution to become amore consistent blogger)

So this will be my last blog for Anamnesis 25.12. Firstly I would like to say what an amazing time I’ve had working on this unique show with such a wonderful team and company. We are now in the full swing of performance with only two shows left in the first leg of the tour!! Time has gone so…

The Wales Theatre Awards’ shortlist has been announced and there is no place for Tom – A Story of Tom Jones. Have those responsible for deciding the shortlist got it wrong?

All over Wales critics have had their say and our neighbours in England too have had an input. Let’s also not forget the audiences’ feedback which is arguably the most important. Are they all wrong and the caucus of critics that make the decisions right?

I KNOW WHAT I AND OTHERS THINK, WHAT DO YOU…
