Two lads...one foolish act...a lifetime of regrets |
A gritty and powerful drama which shows how a life-changing event is just a stones throw away.

Some of the responses received following Arad Goch's 2001/2 production of this play:

"Roedd y disgyblion i gyd yn hollol frwdfrydig - fe ddywedodd pob un eu bod wedi mwynhau pob munud." (Ysgol Gyfun Aberaeron)
"The best thing I've ever seen"
(Alex Davies (disgybl/pupil) - Ysgol Dyffryn Taf

Two field mice, Biscuit and Frenzly, face a winter of hardship hidden in a hole at the base of a tree. Biscuit prepares for the winter by collecting a store of food. Frenzly, the daydreamer, collects memories and beautiful things to cheer them through the cold winter months. When the food runs out, the mice feed on their store of treasured memories and stories.
Winter Pictures was originally devised by the company in 1990 under the artistic direction of Jeremy Turner. One of Arad Goch Theatre Company’s most popular shows it has now been re-created in a joint venture with The Ark, Dublin and with the support of CCAT an Interreg programme designed to develop relationships between cultural practitioners on both sides of the Irish Sea. This brand new production features live music and gives another generation of children the chance to share Biscuit and Frenzly’s tales.

Twm Sion Cati |
 |
|
The romantic tale of the ‘Welsh Robin Hood’ presented in a very lively manner by Cwmni Theatr Arad Goch who specialise in work for children and young people. This production will be full of music, tricks and tribulations as the fascinating story of this folk hero from Tregaron is revealed. We will be captured and transported back to the 16th century, to roads full of danger and highwaymen as our hero robs the rich and gives to the poor. No doubt the children will be on Twm’s side - the loveable rouge who fights for his community against injustice and tyranny. Twm Siôn Cati is certainly part of our heritage – bring the children along to learn a little about our history and culture – but more than anything to enjoy an hour of captivating theatre.
Suitable for children aged 7-11
