🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Happy St. David's Day. Before Wales had theatres, it had audiences. In the 6th century, St. David gathered crowds in fields and on hillsides to hear him speak. Churches were too small, so stories were told outdoors, shaped by rhythm, voice and gesture so everyone could follow. That tradition continued through the bards and storytellers who carried the tales of the Mabinogion, holding communities together through shared listening. So today we’re not only celebrating our patron saint, but the roots of Welsh storytelling itself. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus. Cyn i Gymru gael theatrau, roedd ganddi gynulleidfaoedd. Yn y 6ed ganrif, casglodd Dewi Sant dyrfaoedd mewn caeau ac ar lethrau’r mynyddoedd i'w glywed yn siarad. Roedd eglwysi'n rhy fach, felly adroddwyd straeon yn yr awyr agored, wedi'u llunio gan rythm, llais ac ystum fel y gallai pawb ddilyn. Parhaodd y traddodiad hwnnw trwy'r beirdd a'r adroddwyr straeon a gariodd straeon y Mabinogi, gan ddal cymunedau at i gilydd trwy wrando ar y cyd. Felly heddiw nid yn unig yr ydym yn dathlu ein nawddsant, ond gwreiddiau adrodd straeon Cymru ei hun. #stdavidsday#

As the Our Town company makes its way south to the @Rosetheatre, here’s a little throwback to when the cast first got their costumes for the very first time ahead of opening at @SwanseaGrand. Such a lovely buzz! Wrth i gwmni Our Town deithio tua’r Dde i Rose Theatre, dyma ychydig o atgofion o’r adeg pan gafodd y cast eu gwisgoedd am y tro cyntaf cyn agor yn y Grand Abertawe. Mor hwyl!
