Sibrwd
In many of our performances, Sibrwd – our language access app – will be available to guide you through the play, whatever your level of fluency in Welsh. By means of a voice in the ear and text on screen, the app conveys in English what is being said on stage, and is available to use on your mobile phones.
A new version of the app is available via the App Store and Google Play Store. You will need to download the app before coming to the performance, and don’t forget to bring your headphones.
