ROH Faust
Theatr Brycheiniog
Live Screenings | Sgrinio Byw![]()
Experience the decadence and elegance of 1870s paris in David Mcvicar’s spectacular production of Gounod’s best-loved opera.
There are many versions of the story of Faust, who trades his soul with the Devil for youth and power, but Gounod’s opera remains one of the most constantly enthralling. Michael Fabiano stars as Faust, with Diana Damrau as his beloved Marguerite and Erwin Schrott as the diabolical Méphistophélès. Virtuoso leading roles, a large chorus, sensational sets, ballet and an ecstatic finale make this the epitome of theatrical spectacle – the lavish scale of French grand opera is wonderfully in evidence in this production by David McVicar, set in 1870s Paris. Above all, the music includes several of popular opera’s most recognizable numbers, performed by a cast of great international singers and the Royal Opera Chorus.
Music: Charles-François Gounod
Director: David Mcvicar
Conductor: Dan EttingerApproximate running time: 3 hours 45 minutes, including one interval | Sung in French with English subtitles.

National Theatre Wales' Stick Maker Tales
Shepherd Geth Roberts might be getting on in years, but he still lives alone, high in the Elan Valley above the market town of Rhayader. He is a born story-teller who has spent his whole life working his wild and windswept farm, hidden away in the timeless Cambrian Mountains beneath the awesome beauty of the Elan night skies, unpolluted by city lights.
But now Geth faces his greatest ever challenge: his sight is failing and if he can’t see then his life has no purpose – he can’t work the farm or carve the exquisite Shepherd’s Crooks for which he’s famous.
Peter Cox’s new one-man show, performed by Llion Williams, is a heart-warming and heart-breaking tribute to hill-farming communities across Wales and their strength, endurance and determination to survive, even when the odds against them seem impossible.

Transporter
Theatr Brycheiniog
Children's Events | Digwyddiadau i Blant![]()
So, what’s it like round here?
Transporter tells the story of Maya, a girl who is constantly on the move. We meet Maya as she stands on the threshold of a new house in an ordinary city. From this everyday moment an epic story is woven, spanning decades and continents.
Maya - forever thirteen - is both ordinary and extraordinary; schoolgirl, time traveller, shaman. Tales of classroom conflicts, flights across deserts, ice cream dreams and thwarted revolutions weave together, and the local and the global the personal and political collide.
In a year that witnessed the Grenfell Tower fire, an unprecedented rise in homeless families in the UK, and entire populations on the move, together we considered the questions: What does home mean? Is there a safe place left on Earth? How do we navigate our way through a world that appears to be in ruins?
Funny, fearless and frightening, Transporter explores themes of identity, difference, conflict, and what it means to come or not come from somewhere.

Shylock
Theatr Brycheiniog
Drama | Drama![]()
'The tragic, funny and often unbelievable life of fiction's most famous Jew'.
Is Shylock the Jewish moneylender from The Merchant of Venice a villain or victim?
Gareth Armstrong's award winning solo play confronts these Jewish stereotypes through the eyes of his only friend - and the only other Jewish man in the whole of Shakespeare - Tubal.
Promoted to centre stage from his minor role in The Merchant of Venice, he proves a born comic storyteller.
Celebrating the richness of Shakespeare's language and conjuring up a whole cast of characters from Portia to Pontius Pilate, from Romeo to Max Reinhardt, and from Barabbas to Richard Burbage, this dazzling, moving, often hilarious play is a fascinating exploration of Shylock and his people.
Written and Directed by Gareth Armstrong
Performed by Rhodri Miles (Seilioc (Welsh language version of Shylock), Burton and Dylan Thomas: Clown in the Moon.

Orlando: Who is she? Who is he? Who are we?

Based on the satirical 1928 novel by Virginia Woolf.

As A Tiger In The Jungle
Theatr Brycheiniog
Entertainment | Adloniant![]()
A strong and heart-warming performance about rescued child slaves from Indian traditional circus.
This performance is inspired by the lives and destiny of our performers Renu and Aman experiences as child circus slaves in India. It also highlights the story of other Nepalese children being trafficked into slavery in Indian traditional circus. From 2002, when this was discovered, over 700 children have been discovered and rescued or released.
In 2013 producer Ali Williams spent a year working as the Creative Director of Circus Kathmandu. Circus Kathmandu was a group of 13 young men and women who all were rescued from Indian circuses, including our performers, Renu and Aman.
Ali Williams invited director Sverre Waage to come to Kathmandu to meet the newly formed circus company. That was the start of a collaboration between Ali and Sverre, with the aim to build bridges between the developing circus environment in Kathmandu and the International community of performing art producers and programmers in UK, Norway and Europe.
The first achievement is the production and touring of As a Tiger in The Jungle, representing the international partnership of prize-winning director and play-writer Sverre Waage (Norway) and Ali Williams (Wales), co-founder and former artistic director of NofitState.
Ali and Sverre have been working with the two Nepalese circus artists, Renu and Aman, over the last three years and for this project have integrated Loan TP Hoang a Vietnamese refugee with her own story of a lost childhood. As a Tiger in The Jungle is a unique fusion of Asian and European performance, circus and music. Original music score composed by Per Zanussi.

Appearing in England in 1662, Punch is descended from the Italian Clown Pulcinella of the 15th C Commedia Del’Arte tradition. Even today This Lord of Misrule uses his slapstick to dispense with oppressive authority, be it politicians, political Correctness or the devil, while proclaiming his notorious refrain; ‘That’s the way to do it!”

An Evening With Simon Weston CBE

Spoken Word | Darlithiau![]()
‘My Life….My Story in My Words’
Mere words alone seem so inadequate when referring to Simon Weston.
He was a soldier serving in the British Army at the time of the Falklands War in 1982 when two Argentine planes bombed RFA Sir Galahad and turned the ship into an inferno. Simon survived but suffered burns to 46% of his body, yet, he would say he was lucky as he lost many of his comrades that day.
Since that fateful day he has become one of the most recognised faces of the conflict and in this show he discusses his experiences with his close friend David FitzGerald from the BBC.
Simon Weston is a truly remarkable man who despite all he has suffered has emerged as one of these countries most inspirational people. His story has highs and lows, laughter and tears and on that journey he has subsequently met Royalty, the pilot who dropped the bomb and even Harry Patch the last survivor of WW1.
The show will come delivered with footage from the conflict and will include a Q & A session.

THE PROGRAMME
Super Local Heroes is Bombastic’s our brand new show created especially for Family Dance
Festival. Four misfit superheroes on mobility scooters arrive to ask the audience to dance, chat and
inter-act with them and participate in a really surreal and fun mission to help the neighbourhoods all
around Wales. Get involved and be part of the dance adventure!! These Super local Heroes mission
is to entertain and they will be popping up through the whole show and introducing our guest
companies including….
Sweetshop Revolution’s I am 8, is a light-hearted and charming lyrical piece with four dancers that
was commissioned by London’s Sadler’s Wells and The Place for their young audience programme. It
presents a world in which children’s stories and dancer’s lives blend in a tale of discovery, spanning
what it is like to be 8 years old to 28.
And also….
Cardiff based Kitsch & Sync Collective who make curiously quirky dance theatre and performance
and are regularly featured in festivals across the UK. Hello Buoys follows 3 dinghy-less damsels as
they dip their toes and cause a splash on their seafaring voyage. Looking for a captain to guide them
to sun-kissed beaches, can these ladies of leisure be pointed in the right direction or are they
hopelessly helpless in their tropical quest!’
Local young dance groups will be adding something extra special to the show with a diverse range of
dance styles and opportunities to see young talents doing their thing.
