Ysgol Glanethwy presents Morynion y Gwaed
Saturday 13 April, 7.30pm
Sunday 14 April, 7.30pm
The first branch of the Mabinogi, Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed, may not be as familiar to us as the stories of Branwen and Blodeuwedd, Gwydion and Math Fab Mathonwy. Like the branches of a tree, it’s an intricate and complicated tale, with twist and turns throughout. However, this challenge of bringing the story apart was exciting. Looking at the morynion (maids) in the story, and how to expand their story as they have such an important part in the story of Pwyll and Rhiannon. As they create a web of lies to hide their guilt, what will their fate be when their deception and deceit is eventually caught? This is the story that we will follow as we shine a new light on the first branch of Y Mabinogi.
A new musical full of colour, entertainment and fascination, by Ysgol Glanaethwy. Having entertained audiences since 1990, this is one of their most ambitious shows to date, musically and visually. We look forward to seeing you.

Dance for Parkinson’s classes are fun and informal.
Dance has been proven to develop confidence and strength, whilst temporarily relieving some participants of symptoms in everyday life. Classes are creative and promote feelings of freedom from the physical and social constraints of having Parkinson’s.
We are an Affiliated hub of English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme.
Classes are 90 minutes long, and all you’ll need is a chair.
English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme has been running since 2008.
