Sherman Theatre and Theatr Cymru’s new winter co-production for younger children, The Frog Prince / Biwti a Brogs, will tour venues across Wales from November 2025 to January 2026, including a six-week run at the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff.

The Frog Prince / Biwti a Brogs are enchanting new versions of the classic Brothers Grimm tale, aimed at audiences aged three to six - written by Gwawr Loader and directed by Elin Phillips and performed by a cast of two actor-musicians: Anni Dafydd and Owen Alun.

Joining Gwawr and Elin in the creative team are Set and Costume Designer Carl Davies and Lighting Designer Ceri James. The full creative team will be announced in the coming weeks.

Over more than 40 years, Sherman Theatre’s Christmas productions have introduced generations of children from across south Wales to the magic of theatre, with engaging new takes on classic stories. In recent years, the company’s Studio Christmas shows have traditionally offered a joyous, contemporary twist on a much-loved fairytale, alongside a larger-scale show in the Main House for older children.

As the Welsh-language national theatre, Theatr Cymru has been entertaining and inspiring audiences of all ages for more than two decades. An award-winning touring company, their most recent touring productions for children include Dawns y Ceirw (with National Dance Company Wales), Swyn and Llygoden yr Eira (with Theatr Iolo). Theatr Cymru has also previously co-produced with Gwawr and Elin’s theatre company, Criw Brwd, bringing Pryd Mae’r Haf? to stages across Wales in early 2020 and creating a live digital version during the pandemic.
