AUGUST by Matthew William Robinson
“As the sun set everything changed.”
AUGUST is about saying goodbye and the changes that fling us together and tear us apart.
Bathed in the fading colours of dusk and neon accents of night, AUGUST navigates a sensual landscape shifting between perilous and beautiful.Skinners by Melanie Lane
We live in a digital age. We use filters to blur reality and avatars that disguise our identities. We talk to AI. We are teetering on the edge of a thrilling and terrifying future where human bodies glitch between flesh and illusion, fact and fiction.
Beyond the fantasies that technology makes possible, our humanity remains. How do we return to the physical world, and to the skin we are living in?

Under Milk Wood 70th Anniversary
Theatr Brycheiniog
Live Screenings | Sgrinio BywBBFC Rating - 15 (No persons under 15 will be admitted into the auditorium)
fFatti fFilms in association with S4C, Tinopolis and Ffilm Cymru Wales, are pleased to present Kevin Allen’s radically updated version of Dylan Thomas’s iconic poetic prose work, Under Milk Wood.
Regarded as the ultimate legacy of the 100th anniversary of Dylan Thomas’s birth, this lusty, genuinely accessible Under Milk Wood promises to appeal to a wide-ranging audience.
Starring Rhys Ifans, Charlotte Church and directed by Kevin Allen (Twin Town, The Big Tease, Y Syrcas), this Under Milk Wood presents an erotic, surreal interpretation, and this unique movie offering of his most iconic work will engage with British cinema audiences this autumn.
With a boldly adapted screenplay written by Murray Lachlan Young, Michael Breen and Kevin Allen, this Under Milk Wood confidently steers away from some of the more prudish renditions of Thomas’s original work. However, whilst staying faithful to Thomas’s original text, Allen’s richly cinematic interpretation explores some of the more visceral elements of the magical, ghoulish dreamscape of this distinctive work; beguiling, erotic elements that have previously been stiffly swept under the proverbial carpet. Combining the heady mix of Thomas’ rich, deeply moving narrative poetry and devilish, comically animated prose, this visual feast of a film audaciously sets out to reintroduce one the world’s greatest poets to film lovers and poetry connoisseurs alike, whilst appealing to a whole new generation waiting to be introduced to the magic of his most spectacular work.
Synopsis:
Under Milk Wood opens at nightfall, whilst the eccentric residents of Llareggub (read it backwards) are fast aslumber, and through blind Captain Cat (Rhys Ifans) - the story’s living portal through which the 1st & 2nd Voice narration guides us through this exotic tale - we gradually become aware that we are bearing witness to the townspeople's deepest dreams.
The tormented blind sea captain is visited in his dreams by his drowned shipmates, who long to live again and enjoy the pleasures of the world they once shared together.
Mog Edwards and Myfanwy Price, living at opposite ends of the town, dream of each other’s unrequited love. The seventeen stone drunk hulk of Mr. Waldo dreams of his childhood and his failed marriages. Prim and proper Mrs. Ogmore-Pritchard exercises her perverse sexual fantasies with her deceased husbands, while lonely landlord, Sinbad Sailors, recalls his most primitive lusting for his untouchable demure school teacher love, miss Gossamer Beynon.
As dawn beckons, through the beauty of Dylan Thomas’ mesmerising poetry, the narration of 1st & 2nd Voice guides us through Llareggub’s characters and introduce us to their subterranean lives.

Children's Events | Digwyddiadau i BlantMilly Jackdaw presents a fusion of traditional storytelling, physical theatre, music and ceremony in this solo performance based on the life of Myrddin and his encounters with magical animals. We explore the living myth, and its relevance to our current times through tales which restore sense of meaning, wonder and hope.
We find Myrddin seeking the sanctuary of an apple tree, a remedy for disturbing futuristic visions triggered by the Battle of Arderydd. He befriends a wolf and a pig and the stories they tell each other unearth deep memories of an ancient sow goddess, a gallant quest involving the pursuit of the giant boar Twrch Trwyth, Myrddins own early life and his mysterious conception.
1500 years later a young single mum receives a visitation that will influence the course of her life, ultimately leading her to Wales and to Hartfell in Dumfries, on a quest for the living myth of Myrddin and the primal power of the land. We are called to re-evaluate the stories we tell ourselves and to discover codes, hidden till the time is right for revelation.
Audience Feedback:
“. . . entertaining and illuminating; I was gripped from start to finish. Milly is a rare gift of a storyteller.”

An Evening with Sir Gareth Edwards
Theatr Brycheiniog
Spoken Word | Darlithiau“I was part of a country which had rugby blood in its veins, and for a short time I was part of its national side which stretched out for the top and reached a pinnacle. I am thankful for that.” - Gareth Edwards
Ad/Lib Cymru are thrilled to bring this show to Brecon.
Sir Gareth Edwards is a Welsh former rugby union player who played scrum half and has been described by the BBC as "arguably the greatest player ever to don a Welsh jersey"
In 2003, in a poll of international rugby players conducted by Rugby World magazine, Edwards was declared the greatest player of all time. In 2007, former England player Will Carling published his list of the '50 Greatest Rugby players'and ranked Edwards the greatest player ever.
One of the most famous rugby quotes in the history of the game - uttered by the immortal Barry John to the peerless Gareth Edwards when the greatest half-back combination met up for the first time.
When Gareth asked the legendary Barry John, in their first ever training session together how his new partner would like the ball delivered Barry said, "You throw it, I'll catch it!"
We’ll hear of his early days in Gwaun Cae Gurwen, his 195 appearances for Cardiff RFC, his 53 caps for Wales and 10 appearances for The Lions as well as signing for Swansea Town FC at the age of 16.
This promises to be an evening to remember with so many stories and anecdotes from one of Wales’ greatest ambassadors.
Joining Gareth on stage and asking the questions will be his friend and former BBC/S4C rugby commentator Huw Llywelyn Davies.
There will also be a Q&A session in the second half.
