Rhwng pob rhyw ddau by Mari Emlyn.
This quotation from "Celwydd" by T.H.Parry Williams is the inspiration for Mari Emlyn's first stage play. Lying is one of the main themes running through the work, raising the question: what is truth, how possible is it to have absolute truth, especially in a Marriage? What hurts the most - the truth, or not knowing? If the playwright were to answer some of these eternal questions, how would you know she was telling the truth?
A rehearsed reading by Sgript Cymru of a work-in-progress in Welsh.
All events are free but places for the daytime workshops are limited and will need to be pre-booked with Sgript Cymru on 02920 236650. See leaflet for full details.
