Wild Man and Seer: A Merlin Weekend

Long before he became King Arthur's court magician, Merlin was Myrddin: a Welsh seer, bard, and wild man of the woods. Over one weekend in February at the Dragon Theatre in Barmouth, we trace him back through the layers of legend.

The weekend, hosted by the House of the West Wind: College of Storytelling, blends performance, scholarship, and place.

Dr Simon Heywood will tell versions of Merlin's story derived using traditional techniques of oral storytelling. We will also hear tales and context from the wider Arthurian landscape, with storytellers and researchers Mair Tomos Ifans, Gwilym Morus Baird, Raluca Radulescu, Simon Rodway, and Claire Mace. On the Sunday afternoon there is an optional walk to Arthur's stone, weather permitting.

Tickets for the full weekend £60 - £40

Friday 19 February at 7.30pm - Sunday 21 February at 4pm.

(Tickets for the Friday or Saturday evening only can be found here)

Concessions are available to people on a low or no income, students and children.

The event will be mainly held through the medium of English with some recitation and songs in Welsh. Please note the storytelling is aimed at adults, although young people over 11 are welcome.

Gŵr Gwyllt a Gweledydd: Penwythnos Myrddin

Amser maith yn ôl, cyn iddo ddod yn ddewin yn llys y Brenin Arthur, roedd Myrddin yn ddyn gwyllt yn y goedwig.

Dros benwythnos ym mis Chwefror yn Theatr y Ddraig, Abermaw, byddwn yn dilyn trywydd Myrddin drwy haenau'r chwedlau.

Mae'r penwythnos, a gynhelir gan yr ‘House of the West Wind: College of Storytelling’, yn cyfuno perfformiadau, ysgolheictod, a thirwedd.

Bydd Dr Simon Heywood yn defnyddio technegau traddodiadol i adrodd straeon ar lafar, a bydd o’n rhannu gwahanol fersiynau o stori Myrddin.

Byddwn hefyd yn clywed chwedlau a chyd-destun o dirwedd ehangach chwedlau Arthur, efo storïwyr ac ymchwilwyr Mair Tomos Ifans, Gwilym Morus Baird, Raluca Radulescu, Simon Rodway, a Claire Mace. Ar y prynhawn Sul bydd cyfle i fynd ar daith gerdded ddewisol at Faen Arthur, os bydd y tywydd yn caniatáu.

Tocynnau am benwythnos llawn £40–£60

(Tocynnau am nos Wener neu nos Sadwrn yn unig yma)

Cynhelir y digwyddiad yn bennaf drwy gyfrwng y Saesneg gydag ychydig o adrodd a chaneuon yn y Gymraeg. Cyflwyniad ar gyfer oedolion yw hwn, ond mae croeso i bobl ifanc dros 11 oed.
