Learning Collection
As a resource for schools, higher and further education establishments, and the wider education sector, our Learning Collection offers exclusive access to some of Theatr Cymru's archive productions - including films of the productions, education packs and assets that were used during the original tours.
The aim of our Learning Collection is to provide an opportunity for lecturers, teachers, students, pupils, educationalists and learners an opportunity to watch, study and enjoy Welsh-language theatre. English and Welsh closed captions are available on every production in the collection.
The collection is available for free to the education sector in Wales. Please complete this form to register for access to the Learning Collection - we will then contact you with a username and password.
