The arts platform for new reviewers
Mur Mur, Theatr a Drama Prifysgol De Cymru. Canolfan y Celfyddydau, Aberystwyth.
Buais mor ffodus a gwylio’r cynhyrchiad yma gan fyfyrwyr Drama a Dawns Prifysgol De Cymru dwywaith o fewn yr un wythnos. Gall y perfformiad fod wedi fy niflasu’r ail waith, ond yn hytrach llwyddodd i’m swyno gan lu o bosibiliadau eraill. Perfformiad corfforol a chreadigol a honnodd fy sylw o’r cychwyn cyntaf. Cerrig oedd […]
Tripula, Farres Brothers & Co. Canolfan y Celfyddydau, Aberystwyth.
Braint oedd bod ynghlwm âGŵyl Agor Drysau gan Theatr Arad Goch yn ddiweddar lle cefais y cyfle i wylio dramâu niferus yn Aberystwyth gan gwmnïau theatr ryngwladol, ac rwyf yn hynod ddiolchgar am y profiad. Y perfformiad cyntaf i mi wylio fel rhan o’r ŵyl oedd ‘Tripula’ a oedd yn ddechrau egnïol a ffres i’r […]
Anweledig, Cwmni’r Frân Wen. Canolfan y Celfyddydau, Aberystwyth.
Roeddwn yn ymwybodol taw drama un person gan Aled Jones Williams oedd hon cyn mentro i’r theatr i’w gwylio. Roeddwn hefyd yn ymwybodol ei fod wedi cael ei berfformio ychydig flynyddoedd ynghynt ond yn cael ei weld ar ei newydd wedd y tro yma, ac felly roedd yn rhaid i mi fachu ar y cyfle […]
Hair, New Theatre Cardiff
Hair is one of those shows where if you ask a member of the public what they know about it, they would say – Aquarius, Let the Sun Shine in and Hippies. When Hair was first performed in 1969, it would have left its audiences in shock. It was written as an almost ‘educational’ shock […]
The Magic Flute , WNO, Wales Millennium Centre
Mozart’s most famous opera was once again brought on stage, but this time WNO managed to add in some delightful new ideas. Under the baton of Damian Iorio, the music was of extremely high quality. The loving couple of Tamino and Pamina were sung by Ben Johnson and Anita Watson. They both rendered their […]
Romeo and Juliet, Royal Shakespeare Company, New Theatre, Cardiff
With the current surge of knife crime in the UK, you can somewhat half see the idea that director Erica Whyman was going for with this latest RSC production of Romeo and Juliet. This is a modern take of the play set in 2019. It sees gender roles swapped in characters, rave music in the […]
Nyrsys, Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru. Canolfan y Celfyddydau, Aberystwyth.
Wrth gyrraedd y theatr i wylio Nyrsys roedd y lle yn orlawn a dim un sedd wag. Roeddwn yn gwybod o’r cychwyn bod hwn yn mynd i fod yn berfformiad clodwiw iawn ac nid oeddwn yn anghywir. Pum actores oedd i’r cynhyrchiad a rhain yn dalentog, bywiog ac yn deimladwy’r un pryd yn cyfleu bywyd […]
Beauty and the Beast, New Theatre, Cardiff
Panto has been described as “a traditional fairy tale complete with songs, dances, jokes, exaggerated characters and lots of audience participation”. The question is how to keep a genre that dates back to the 16th or 17th century, relevant to today’s tech- and media-savvy younger generation with their short attention spans and constant need for […]
Natalya Romaniw in La Boheme, ENO
Revivals of Jonathan Miller stagings have been the staple over the past thirty years at ENO. In Miller’s clear-headed production, the 1930s take on tragic young love among Parisian students certainly did not lack any drama. There is much to admire in this revival. Alexander Joel leads an idiomatic performance from both singers and orchestra. […]
Matilda, RSC, Wales Millennium Centre
If you’re going to take a classic of children’s literature and turn it into a musical, you better make sure you do a good job. Matilda by Roald Dahl – one of the author’s later and darker works – comfortably fits into the category of a children’s classic that is well-loved all over the world. […]
