Rhosys Cochion, the company that brought you Shinani’n Siarad, Ede Hud a Holl Liwie’r Enfys are touring their new show around Wales during May this year. The first performance will take place in Chapter Arts Centre on May 8th at 8pm (Box office: 029 2030 4400).Trafaelu ar y Trên Glas, the third and final part of the Ede Hud /Holl Liwie’r Enfys trilogy, is a portrayal of the stormy years of late middle age, when a woman has to challenge her body and the ageing process, while endeavouring to grapple with the mysteries of life and death. How will she cut through the layers of secrets and lies, to find new paths forward? How will she avoid sinking beneath the waves and disappearing, invisible to the rest of the world? How will she come to terms with her supernatural passion? And most importantly how will she avoid becoming a murderer!! The show is performed by the author Sharon Morgan and directed by Catrin Edwards. Since the creation of Rhosys Cochion, over ten years ago this artistic partnership has produced shows such as Ede Hud, the company’s first show in 1997 which was later filmed for BBC Wales, the English version Magic Threads, which premiered during Welsh Week, the 2004 St David’s Day celebrations in the Greenwich Street Theatre, New York and of course Shinani’n Siarad, Sharon’s adaptation of the Vagina Monologues which won the Theatre in Wales Website award for Best Welsh Language Production in 2004! Sharon is one of our best-known stage and screen actors and has appeared in a whole range of productions and programmes since the 70s, including Grand Slam with Windsor Davies, Hugh Griffith and Dewi Pws, The Magnificent Evans with Ronnie Barker and Myfanwy Talog, Pobol y Cwm and Gadael Lenin. In 2002 she received the Bafta Cymru Award for Best Female Actor for her part in Siwan Jones’ Tair Chwaer. More recently she’s appeared in Doctors, Belonging, Midsomer Murders and Torchwood and will be returning to our screens in S4C new production of Martha, Jac a Sianco next year. But Sharon’s first love is theatre and her work performing on the stages of Wales with Rhosys Cochion is of great importance to her. “It’s possible to reach hidden depths and far reaching truths in the process of staging a piece of drama. Theatre is a substantial medium, which is also tangible and intimate, and Trafaelu ar y Trên Glas is an honest portrayal of what it means to be middle aged woman, growing old at the beginning of a new century.” The Trên Glas will call at different venues around Wales between May 8th and June 14th.
