There will be English language surtitles at selected performances and a local choir will be taking part in each of the different tour locations. Originally produced by Sherman Cymru in April 2010, ‘Llwyth’ received rave reviews and played to packed theatres throughout Wales, as well as having a sell-out run in London. ‘Llwyth’ formed part of the British Council International Showcase at this years Edinburgh Festival Fringe and ran from 20-28 August 2011. ‘Llwyth’ is directed by Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru’s Artistic Director Arwel Gruffydd and stars Simon Watts, Danny Grehan, Paul Morgans, Michael Humphreys and newcomer Joshua Price.
