Fy Ynys Las

Fy Ynys Las

by Eddie Ladd

A Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru and National Theatre Wales production in partnership with BBC Cymru Wales and BBC Arts

There’s no place like home. But how well do we really know this special place?

During the lockdown, acclaimed artist and performer Eddie Ladd has moved home to live with her mam on the farm where she grew up – Maesglas. In every nook and cranny of this wonderful spot – the farmhouse, the cowshed, the farmyard and the potato shed – Eddie revisits her family history, stories from the local community and memories of her own long and varied career.

At 7pm on 20 May, join Eddie on a virtual tour as she breathes new life to her past. Live from Eddie’s home to yours, this is a unique glimpse into life in rural Wales during a pandemic.

Fy Ynys Las is a Welsh-language performance.

Running time: 1 hour

Fy Ynys Las was broadcast live on Facebook Live on 20 May 2020. A recording of the live event is now available on our YouTube channel.
