Addysgu Rita

Y Consortiwm Cymraeg yn Cyflwyno’r Gomedi Addysgu Rita gan Willy Russell, wedi’i gyfieithu gan Gwawr Loader

Y ddrama a enillodd Wobr Olivier, yn y Gymraeg am y tro cyntaf erioed.

Pan mae Rita, merch briod sy’n trin gwallt, yn cofrestru ar gwrs prifysgol er mwyn ehangu ei gorwelion, does ganddi ddim syniad beth fydd diwedd y daith.

Dyw ei thiwtor sinigaidd, Frank, y bardd rhwystredig, yr academydd disglair a’r yfwr ymroddedig, ddim yn frwdfrydig iawn i gymryd Rita dan ei adain. Ond daw’r ddau i sylweddoli cymaint sydd ganddyn nhw i ddysgu oddi wrth ei gilydd.

Bydd y gomedi ddoniol a chynnes hon yn swyno cynulleidfaoedd ledled Cymru.

“Wrth wraidd y ddrama mae bod dynol sy’n awchu am rywbeth gwell, ac mae hynny’n brofiad sylfaenol a chyntefig.”

Y Consortiwm Cymraeg presents the Comedy Addysgu Rita (Educating Rita) by Willy Russell, translated by Gwawr Loader

The Olivier Award-winning play in Welsh for the very first time.

When Rita, a married hairdresser, enrols in a university course in order to broaden her horizons, she has no idea what the end of the journey will be.

Her cynical tutor Frank, a frustrated poet, brilliant academic and committed drinker, is not very enthusiastic about taking Rita under his wing. But they both come to realise how much they have to learn from each other.

This funny and warm comedy will delight audiences throughout Wales.

“At the heart of the play is a human being who hungers for something better, and that is a basic and primitive experience.”

Tuesday 19 May – 7:30pm (approx. 2 hours, finishing around 9:30pm)
Post-show Q&A with members of the cast (immediately after the performance, approx. 9:30–9:45pm)
