Hedfan Drwy'r Machlud by Siôn Eirian Welsh Language Commission, in collaboration with Sgript Cymru. Directed by Arwel Gruffydd Bute Theatre Tuesday 7 - Saturday 11 February @ 7.30pm Matinee Thursday 9 February @ 2.30pm Two young women are flying to a remote village in northern Portugal to gather promotional material for a brand of exotic wine, the vinhos mortos or “wine of the dead”. Waiting for them is a cloistered little peasant community with its own timeless lifestyle and primitive attitudes. Is this the start of a contemporary horror story, or a timely and cautionary parable about two cultures colliding? Hedfan Drwy'r Machlud (Flying through the Sunset) takes us on a journey to an enchanting and unfamiliar corner of southern Europe but also to a dark territory of explosive secrets and extreme emotions. £6, £4, £2 On Tour Aberystwyth Arts Centre Tuesday 14 February Box Office: 01970 623232 Pontardawe Arts Centre Thursday 16 February Box Office: 01792 863722 The Architect by David Greig Directed by Dominic Leclerc Caird Studio Wednesday 8 - Thursday 16 February @ 7.45pm The Architect charts the rise and fall of Leo Black, once an idealistic and idolised designer, whose magnificent visions are now crumbling, along with his family, in the light of grubby reality. "The most important playwright to have emerged north of the border in years" - Scotsman £6, £4, £2 Blue Remembered Hills by Dennis Potter Directed by Ruth Carney Sherman Theatre, Venue 2 Tuesday 7 - Saturday 11 February @ 8.00pm Matinee Saturday 11 February @ 2.30pm Were the happy, summer days of childhood really as innocent as we fondly believe, and how did that innocence end? Seven children playing in the Forest of Dean are the focus for one of Potter's most remarkable pieces. With all the parts played by adult actors, Potter wanted to explore childhood and the loss of innocence. £7, £5 The Country Wife by William Wycherley Directed by Martin Houghton Bute Theatre Friday 24 March - Saturday 1 April @ 7.30pm The sexually devious Horner works his way into the good graces-not to mention the bedrooms-of London's more adventuresome ladies, while their slow-witted husbands remain blissfully unaware. Until, that is, Horner sets his sights on Margery, Mr Pinchwife's pretty new bride from the country. Fuelled by lust and jealousy, the two men clash, never imagining that the young woman will prove to be Horner's most formidable challenge. £6, £4, £2 A Day in The Death of Joe Egg by Peter Nichols Directed by Mark Rosenblatt Caird Studio Friday 24 March - Saturday 1 April @ 7.45pm This savage penetrating comedy follows a young couple's struggle to deal with marriage, career and family. As they try to make light of their situation, Bri and Shelia resort to humour and fantasy as a way to get through each day. “It did that astoundingly radical thing: try to tell the truth.” The Times £6, £4, £2 Company Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by George Furth Originally produced and directed on Broadway by Harold Prince This amateur performance is presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York Directed by David Newman Musical Director John O'Hara Sherman Theatre, Venue 1 Wednesday 29th March - Saturday 1st April @ 7.30pm Matinee Saturday 1st April @ 2.30pm Winner of the 1971 Tony Award for Best Musical, Company is a passionate favourite of Sondheim fans.
