Y Tad 
by Florian Zeller
Welsh translation by Geraint Løvgreen

“There are strange things happening around us. Haven’t you noticed?”

The father’s world is topsy-turvy. Who are these strangers in his house? Is it his house at all?
This is a heart-rending story about a man who is failing to understand what is happening to him as his memory crumbles, and a daughter who is struggling to come to terms with her father’s illness.
A new Welsh translation of Le Père, winner of the Molière Award 2014 for the Best Play, and winner of the competition to Translate a Play into Welsh at the National Eisteddfod of Wales, 2016.

“I’m in my own house, aren’t I? Am I? . . . No? . . . This is my house, isn’t it?”

Director: Arwel Gruffydd.

Cast: Dyfan Roberts, Catrin Mara, Dafydd Emyr, Fflur Medi Owen, Rhodri Siôn, Mirain Fflur

This is a Welsh-language production. The Sibrwd app provides a live audio translation for non Welsh-speakers and Welsh beginners. Full information available here.
