THEATR Genedlaethol Cymru production Merched Caerdydd/Nos Sadwrn o Hyd will tour Wales this spring, coming to Cardigan’s Theatr Mwldan on Thursday, March 28 (7.30pm).

Merched Caerdydd is a new work by Catrin Dafydd which was presented as a rehearsed reading of a work-in-progress to large audiences at the Cardiff National Eisteddfod in 2018, and Nos Sadwrn o Hyd is an adaptation by Roger Williams of his own popular play Saturday Night Forever.

Two contemporary plays based in the capital city, by two of Wales’s most distinct voices.

The cast are Emmy Stonelake, Gwenllian Higginson and Hanna Jarman (Merched Caerdydd) and Sion Ifan (Nos Sadwrn o Hyd).

Joining Emmy Stonelake, who took part in the rehearsed readings of Merched Caerdydd (Theatr Gen Creu yn y Steddfod), will be Gwenllian Higginson and Hanna Jarman.

Gwenllian Higginson returns to Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru following previous appearances in Macbeth (2017), Yr Hwyaden Fach Hyll/The Ugly Duckling (in co-production with Sherman Theatre, 2014/15) and Dyled Eileen (2014).

Gwenllian also appeared recently in Exodus (Motherlode Theatre). Hanna Jarman joins the company for the first time. Her recent theatre credits include Hud y Crochan Uwd/The Magic Porridge Pot by Sherman Theatre.

Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru is the Welsh-language national theatre of Wales. It creates bold, ambitious, inclusive and memorable theatre experiences in the heart of communities, at traditional theatre venues and unexpected locations across Wales and beyond.
