Following the success of their recent multi lingual production “Frongoch” Llwyfan Gogledd Cymru / North Wales Stage have been invited to perform at the Hradec Králové international festival ‘Theatre of European Regions’ in the Czech Republic at the end of June. Artistic Director Ian Rowlands said “ This is an exciting development for us as one of the company’s objectives is to take Welsh language productions to an International stage giving them an insight to our language and culture. “ The venture will be funded by Wales Arts International and The British Council. The play, originaly performed in Welsh, English and Irish with sub titles throughout, will now be adapted for a Czech speaking audience. Mr Rowlands added “We have also decided to arrange another Wales and Ireland tour of ‘Frongoch’ giving a wider audience a chance to see Ifor ap Glyn’s highly acclaimed play.” Caernarfon based film company Cwmni Da have been filming the making of ‘Frongoch’, together with audience reactions, for transmission on S4C next month. This news comes at the end of a successful year for the company with nearly 10 000 people having attended their shows. Mr Nic Parry, chairman of the governing board said “We are delighted with the figures for last year and hope the varied and exciting productions in the pipeline will draw in an even bigger audience during the next year”. The company’s next production , in collaboration with Cynefin Sensory Labyrinth Theatre is a community arts project called Caerdroia. It involves creating a mile long labyrinth in the Gwydyr Forrest above Llanrwst in the Conwy Valley. Local people will be working with artists, poets and storytellers to create unique performances during the month of July to celebrate the area’s natural and linguistic heritage.
