Welcome to the Sherman Theatre’s spring season. I am delighted to share a vibrant and exciting programme with you, our audience. This season is all about the new: we are generating, producing and presenting varied, fresh new work for the citizens of Cardiff and beyond.

I am proud to say that at the centre of our season are the world premieres of two Sherman productions by two of Wales’ finest writers; Matthew Trevannion’s Leviathan (in co-production with Òran Mór’s legendary A Play, A Pie and A Pint) and Gary Owen’s Iphigenia in Splott. These moving plays look at modern Welsh women; they explore the fallout of social deprivation, and speak in an authentic- and funny- voice.

Our playwright-in-residence, Katherine Chandler, has written a new play, Hood, as part of the National Theatre Connections Festival which we are delighted to present here at the Sherman.

We are also supporting major new work from Welsh companies; National Theatre Wales’ Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage; Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru’s Y Fenyw Ddaeth o’r Môr and Pan Oedd Y Byd Yn Fach; Torch Theatre’s new play Grav; and emerging Swansea-based comedy sketch company, Double Dipp.

This spring, we also welcome the Sherman’s first resident company, Pluen. A bi-lingual emerging company, run by Cardiff-based artists Elgan Rhys and Gethin Evans.

So; spring is here. Try something fresh, new and exciting at the Sherman.

Croeso i dymor y gwanwyn yn Theatr y Sherman. Mae’n bleser gennyf rannu’r rhaglen fywiog a chyffrous hon gyda chi, ein cynulleidfa. Popeth sy’n newydd yw thema’r tymor hwn: rydym yn creu, yn cynhyrchu ac yn cyflwyno gwaith amrywiol, ffres, newydd i ddinasyddion Caerdydd a thu hwnt.

Rwy’n falch o ddweud mai y canolbwynt y tymor yw perfformiadau cyntaf erioed o ddwy ddrama newydd gan ddau o awduron gorau Cymru; Leviathan gan Matthew Trevannion (mewn cydgynhyrchiad â Òran Mór â’r enwog A Play, A Pie and A Pint) ac Iphigenia in Splott gan Gary Owen. Mae’r dramâu gwefreiddiol hyn yn edrych ar fenywod cyfoes Cymreig; maent yn ymchwilio i ganlyniadau amddifadedd cymdeithasol, ac yn siarad â llais dilys, a doniol.

Mae Katherine Chandler, ein dramodydd preswyl, wedi ysgrifennu drama newydd hefyd, sef Hood, fel rhan o Ŵyl Connections y National Theatre a fydd yn cael ei chyflwyno yma yn y Sherman.

Rydym hefyd yn cefnogi gwaith newydd pwysig gan gwmnïau Cymreig: Crouch, Touch, Pause, Engage gan National Theatre Wales; Y Fenyw Ddaeth o’r Môr a Pan Oedd Y Byd Yn Fach gan Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru; Grav, drama newydd Theatr y Torch; a chwmni sgetsys comedi newydd o Abertawe, sef Double Dipp.

Y gwanwyn hwn, rydym hefyd yn croesawu cwmni preswyl cyntaf y Sherman, sef Pluen. Cwmni dwyieithog newydd sydd yn cael ei redeg gan Elgan Rhys a Gethin Evans.

Felly; daeth y gwanwyn. Rhowch gynnig ar rywbeth ffres, newydd a chyffrous yn y Sherman.

Rachel O’Riordan Artistic Director / Cyfarwyddwr Artistig

“We’re honoured and extremely excited to begin developing our devised work here at the Sherman. This support is invaluable to us, as a new theatre company in Wales.”Pluen

Crouch, Touch,Pause, Engage

On the eve of one of the most important games of his career, Welsh rugby legend Gareth Thomas received a warning: The Sun newspaper was going to “out” him as gay.

This is the story of two Welsh names bruised, but not beaten, by media speculation; Gareth “Alfie” Thomas, 100 caps for Wales, once its captain, now the world’s most prominent gay sportsman; and his hometown, Bridgend.

Working with Alfie himself, and young people in Bridgend, two of the UK’s most exciting theatre companies - National Theatre Wales and Out of Joint - have teamed up to tell a great Welsh story about sport, politics, secrets, life, and learning to be yourself.

Ar noswyl un o gemau pwysicaf ei yrfa, derbyniodd arwr rygbi Cymru Gareth Thomas rybudd: roedd y papur newydd The Sun yn mynd i ddatgelu ei fod yn hoyw.

Dyma stori dau enw Cymreig gafodd eu lambastio, ond nid eu trechu, gan sylw yn y wasg; Gareth “Alfie” Thomas, 100 cap i Gymru, unwaith yn gapten ar ei wlad, a nawr yn chwaraewr hoyw amlycaf y byd; a thref ei febyd, Pen-y-Bont ar Ogwr.

Gan weithio gydag Alfie ei hun, a phobl ifanc ym Mhen-y-Bont ar Ogwr, mae dau o gwmnïau theatr mwyaf cyffrous DU - National Theatre Wales ac Out of Joint – wedi dod at ei gilydd i adrodd stori Gymreig arbennig am chwaraeon, gwleidyddiaeth, cyfrinachau, bywyd a dysgu i fod yn chi eich hun.

“I was doing something nobody had done before, and if you’re the first to do something, you have to be prepared to take the sh*t for it.”

Dance Touring Partnership presents Ultima Vez

What the Body Does Not Remember

The amazing debut of Wim Vandekeybus and Ultima Vez in 1987 stunned the world of dance at the time, in this ‘brutal confrontation of dance and music: the dangerous, combative landscape of What the Body Does Not Remember.’ 28 years later and with a new cast, the show still stands as one of the most exciting pieces of dance ever made.

Vandekeybus’ first piece of choreography balances on the razor edge of attraction and repulsion. Dancers are driven to act and react at high speed and with split second timing, to each other, and the music. Moments of humour thread through explosions of aggression, fear and danger in this adrenaline-fuelled distinctly physical performance.

Pan ddawnsiodd Wim Vandekeybus ac Ultima Vez am y tro cyntaf ym 1987, cafodd byd y ddawns ei gyfareddu yn y ‘brutal confrontation of dance and music: the dangerous, combative landscape of What the Body Does Not Remember.’ Nawr, 28 mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, gyda chast newydd, mae’r sioe yn parhau i fod yn un o’r darnau mwyaf cyffrous o ddawns a grëwyd erioed.

Mae darn cyntaf o goreograffi Vandekeybus yn cadw cydbwysedd ar y ffin denau rhwng y deniadol a’r ffiaidd. Caiff y dawnswyr eu cymell i weithredu ac ymateb yn gyflym gan amseru o fewn chwinciad i’w gilydd ac i’r gerddoriaeth. Mae eiliadau o hiwmor yn gwau drwy ffrwydradau o ryfelgarwch, ofn a pherygl yn y perfformiad hollol gorfforol hwn sy’n llawn adrenalin.

Hood

Hood’s Mam has run off with a bacon-licking vegetarian and her Dad spends his days and nights lost in his armchair. There’s no money left, there’s five struggling kids to feed and our modern-day heroine Hood, is determined to keep her family together, whatever it takes…

A contemporary staging of this new play about young people struggling with the consequences of irresponsible adult behaviour.

The Welsh premiere of Hood will be the first performance by our newly restructured Youth Theatre, with two casts from Group 3 performing on alternate nights.

Mae mam Hood wedi rhedeg i ffwrdd gyda llysieuwr sy’n llyfu bacwn ac mae ei Thad yn treulio’i ddyddiau a’i nosweithiau ar goll yn ei gadair. ‘Does dim arian ar ôl, mae pump o blant anystywallt i’w bwydo ond mae Hood, ein harwres fodern, yn benderfynol o gadw’i theulu gyda’i gilydd, beth bynnag a ddaw...

Cynhyrchiad cyfoes o ddrama newydd am bobl ifanc yn delio gyda chanlyniadau ymddygiad anghyfrifol oedolion.

Dyma berfformiad cyntaf yng Nghymru o Hood a chynhyrchiad cyntaf gan ein Theatr Ieuenctid sydd newydd ei ailstrwythuro, gyda dwy gast o Grŵp 3 yn perfformio ar nosweithiau yn ail.

grav

Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the rugby field, Grav was and is so much more than that. An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, a man with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be heard once more.

With the blessing of Mari, Ray’s widow, and contributions from his Welsh and British Lions team mates, this one man show will explore the life of a man who was as fascinating away from the rugby field as he was on it.

Grav will remind the world once more of a unique life well lived and of a man who did so much more than eat soft centres.

Yn adnabyddus i filiynau am ei gampau cofiadwy ar y cae rygbi roedd Grav, ac mae e nawr hyd yn oed, yn llawer mwy na hynny. Yn actor, yn eicon diwylliannol, tad, gwr, a dyn gyda bywyd llawn storiâu sydd yn haeddu cael eu clywed unwaith yn rhagor.

Gyda bendith Mari, gweddw Ray, a chyfraniadau aelodau o dimoedd Cymru a’r Llewod Prydeinig, mae’r sioe un dyn yma yn ymchwilio i fywyd dyn a oedd yn hudol oddi ar y cae rygbi ag yr oedd arno.

Bydd Grav yn atgoffa’r byd unwaith eto am ei fywyd unigryw wedi ei fyw’n dda.

Y Fenyw Ddaeth o’r Môr / The Lady from the Sea

“Wy’n teimlo’r dynfa hunllefus... y dynfa am y môr...”

Yn ferch i geidwad goleudy, mae Elida’n ysu am ryddid y môr. Er mor garedig yw ei gŵr, mae ei phriodas fel cawell amdani, y mynyddoedd yn cau o’i chwmpas, a hithau’n arnofio ym merddwr ei bywyd braf. Mae ymweliad rhyw ddieithryn yn corddi’r dyfroedd. Ond ai dieithryn yw ef mewn gwirionedd? Wrth iddi ddod wyneb yn wyneb â’i gorffennol cythryblus, yn sydyn rhaid gwneud y penderfyniad anoddaf un...aros neu ffoi?

Dyma stori garu fwyaf cyffrous Henrik Ibsen wedi ei chyfieithu i’r Gymraeg am y tro cyntaf erioed gan Menna Elfyn.

Elida, the daughter of a lighthouse keeper, yearns for the freedom of the sea. Far from her childhood island home, she now swims in the stagnant waters of a perfect life… trapped by the picturesque Norwegian landscape, caged by a loving marriage. But then a stranger from the past pays an unexpected visit and she’s forced to confront her darkest fears. Suddenly she needs to make the most difficult decision imaginable…to leave or to stay?

Henrik Ibsen’s most captivating and mysterious love story, The Lady From the Sea, is translated into Welsh for the first time by Menna Elfyn.

26 March / Mawrth

As three generations of the same family soak up the last of the sun’s rays in their back garden, beers in hand, the underlying tensions between the three are brought to boiling point thanks to revelations long buried, whilst also trying to stop the cat from murdering more defenceless birds.

In this tale of familial ties, Matthew Trevannion casts a darkly humorous eye over the changing fortunes of people trying to unmoor themselves from their past.

Wrth i dair cenhedlaeth o’r un teulu fwynhau pelydrau olaf yr haul yn eu gardd gefn, gan lymeitian cwrw, daw’r tensiwn rhwng y tri i’r wyneb yn sgil datgeliadau a oedd wedi eu hen gladdu, ac wrth geisio atal y gath rhag lladd mwy o adar diamddiffyn.

Yn y stori hon o gysylltiadau teuluol, mae Matthew Trevannion yn bwrw golwg doniol a thywyll dros hynt a helynt pobl sy’n ceisio datgysylltu eu hunain oddi wrth eu gorffennol.

“Will you look at the day? Beautiful, ah? Summer throws you one of these just before it all goes west.”


Schools’ Dance Association

For over 25 years the Schools’ Dance Association has brought together schools from all over Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan for an annual Dance Festival at the Sherman Theatre. The creativity, imagination, ideas and energy which stem from a common theme each year, with a wide variety of dance genres, provide a wonderful opportunity for the pupils to perform in a live theatre, with all the excitement and enhancement that brings. It also gives teachers and dance-club leaders the opportunity to showcase the excellent practice in dance which exists in our schools.

Ers dros 25 mlynedd, mae Schools’ Dance Association wedi dod ag ysgolion o bob cwr o Gaerdydd a Bro Morgannwg at ei gilydd ar gyfer Gŵyl Ddawns flynyddol yn Theatr y Sherman. Mae’r ŵyl yn agored i bob ysgol ac mae disgyblion pedair i ddeunaw oed yn gallu cymryd rhan! Mae’r creadigrwydd, y dychymyg, y syniadau a’r egni sy’n deillio o thema gyffredin bob blwyddyn, gydag amrywiaeth eang o genres dawns, yn gyfle gwych i’r disgyblion berfformio mewn theatr fyw, gyda holl gyffro a chyfoeth y profiad hwnnw. Mae hefyd yn rhoi cyfle i athrawon ac arweinwyr clybiau dawns i arddangos yr arfer rhagorol ym maes dawns sy’n bodoli o fewn ein hysgolion.

Stick Man

A fantastick show for all branches of the family tree!

Scamp Theatre’s delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s hugely popular children’s book Stick Man is coming to the Sherman Theatre! Touching, funny and utterly original, this award-winning production features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.

Stick Man lives happily in the family tree, but goes outside and soon realises the world is a dangerous place. A dog wants to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest with him and he even ends up on a fire!

How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree?

Sioe ardderchog i bob cangen o’r goeden deulu!

Mae Stick Man gan Scamp Theatre ar y ffordd i’r Sherman. Dyma addasiad Julia Donaldson ac Axel Scheffler o’r llyfr plant poblogaidd o’r un enw. Mae’r cynhyrchiad teimladwy, doniol a hollol wreiddiol hwn yn cynnwys triawd o’r actorion gorau ac mae’n llawn pypedau, caneuon, cerddoriaeth fyw a symudiadau ffynci.

Ond mae’r byd y tu allan i’r goeden deulu yn un peryglus i Stick Man. Mae ci am redeg ar ei ôl, mae alarch yn ei ddefnyddio i adeiladu nyth ac mae hyd yn oed yn cael ei roi ar dân!

Sut yn y byd y bydd y Stick Man yn cyrraedd yn ôl at y goeden deulu?

By / Gan julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler (creators of / crewyr the gruffalo)

“Scamp Theatre send shivers down my spine. They are so lively and innovative. I love their production of Stick Man and so do the audiences”Julia Donaldson,author and former Children’s Laureate

g4

G4 set an exciting trend by bringing classical music to British reality TV screens for the first time in 2004 with their performance of Nessun Dorma. However, it was their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody that became their signature tune, storming the charts in 2005.

Experience G4’s trademark sound: expect to hear the tunes that helped make them famous, such as My Way, Nessun Dorma and Bohemian Rhapsody, alongside some fresh takes on music of more recent years. It’s sure to be an evening to live long in the memory: not to be missed!

Cyflwynodd G4 gyda’ perfformiad gyffrous iawn i’r byd cerddoriaeth o gerddoriaeth glasurol ar sgriniau teledu Prydain am y tro cyntaf yn 2004, gyda’i perfformiad o Nessun Dorma. Ond ei perfformiad o Bohemian Rhapsody, fodd bynnag, a’u gwnaeth yn adnabyddus, gan garlamu i fyny’r siartiau yn 2005.

Dewch i brofi arwyddnodau G4: disgwyliwch glywed y caneuon a’u gwnaeth yn adnabyddus, fel My Way, Nessun Dorma a Bohemian Rhapsody, yn ogystal ar gerddoriaeth fwy diweddar. Mae’n siŵr o fod yn noswaith a fydd yn fyw yn y cof am hir: peidiwch â cholli!

IPHIGENIA In Splott

“What gets me through is knowing I took this pain, and saved all of you from suffering the same.”

Stumbling down Clifton Street at 11:30am drunk, Effie is the kind of girl you’d avoid eye contact with, silently passing judgement. We think we know her, but we don’t know the half of it.

Effie’s life spirals through a mess of drink, drugs and drama every night, and a hangover worse than death the next day - till one night gives her the chance to be something more.

This powerful new adaptation of the enduring Greek myth drives home the high price people pay for society’s shortcomings.

Wrth straffaglu i lawr Stryd Clifton am 11:30am yn feddw, mae Effie yn ferch y byddech yn osgoi dal ei llygaid, gan ffurfio barn yn dawel. Rydym yn meddwl ein bod yn ei hadnabod, ond dydyn ni ddim yn gwybod ei hanner hi.

Mae bywyd Effie yn un llanastr mawr o yfed, cyffuriau a drama bob nos, a phen mawr o uffern y diwrnod canlynol – tan un noson pan gaiff gyfle i fod yn rhywbeth mwy.

Mae’r addasiad pwerus newydd hon o’r chwedl Roegaidd yn amlygu’r pris uchel y mae pobl yn ei dalu am ffaeleddau cymdeithas.

mermaid

A bold reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of love, loss and desire.

On her sixteenth birthday, a mermaid rises up to the surface, leaving her childhood behind forever when she falls in love with a mortal prince.

Plundering Hans Christian Andersen’s haunting tale for its dark, erotic, mythic power, writer and director Polly Teale (Brontë, Jane Eyre, Speechless) transports the story to a contemporary setting in this spell-binding new production.

Using a chorus of local young women to create an unearthly musical landscape Shared Experience conjures the magical world of the Mermaids.

Delwedd fentrus newydd i chwedl Hans Christian Andersen sy’n ymdrin â chariad a cholled a chwant.

Ar ei phen-blwydd yn 16 oed, mae morforwyn yn codi i wyneb y dŵr gan adael ei phlentyndod ar ôl am byth pan mae’n syrthio mewn cariad â thywysog meidrol.

Mae’r awdur a’r cyfarwyddwr, Polly Teale (Brontë, Jane Eyre, Speechless) yn anrheithio chwedl hudolus Hans Christian Andersen i ganfod ei phŵer tywyll, erotig, mytholegol a’i throsglwyddo i leoliad cyfoes yn y cynhyrchiad newydd cyfareddol hwn.

Gan ddefnyddio corws o fenywod ifanc lleol i greu tirlun cerddorol annaearol, mae Shared Experience yn cymell byd hudol y morforwynion.

Pan Oedd Y Byd Yn Fach

Gaeaf 1984, ac mae Streic y Glowyr yn ei hanterth. Mae’r esgid yn gwasgu a thensiynau’n uchel wrth i rai ddychwelyd i’r pwll.

Mewn llecyn tawel ymhell o gythrwfl y llinell biced, daw criw o fechgyn ynghyd yn gynnar un bore i ddangos eu cefnogaeth. Ond nid pawb sy’n cael croeso yno y bore hwn, ac mae un weithred dreisgar, ysgytwol yn newid eu bywydau am byth.

Drama newydd gan Siân Summers am frad, brawdgarwch a thyfu’n ddyn.

Winter 1984, and the Miners’ Strike is raging. Money is tight and tensions are high.

In a quiet spot far from the fury of the picket line, a group of boys get together early one morning to show their support. But not everyone is welcome, and one violent and shocking act is about to change their lives forever.

A new play by Siân Summers about betrayal, loyalty and becoming a man.

Theatr Iolo presents a bread&circuses production

WOT? NO FISH!!

A true story of love, art, history and fish balls.

Wot? No Fish!! tells the true story of a Jewish family living in 20th century London. From falling in love to quarrels about fish balls, audiences are taken on a funny and moving journey against the backdrop of a changing city.

In 1926 shoemaker, Ab Solomons, drew on the wage packet he gave to his new wife Celie. Throughout their marriage and into the 80s, Ab drew or painted on his wage packet every week for her.

Years later Danny Braverman discovered the lost art of his Great-uncle Ab on over 2000 wage packets. Now bread&circuses bring his story to life on stage in this captivating performance which has enthralled audiences across the world.

Stori wir am gariad, celf, hanes a pheli pysgod.

Mae Wot? No Fish!! yn cyfleu stori wir am deulu Iddewig sy’n byw yn Llundain yn yr ugeinfed ganrif. O syrthio mewn cariad i gweryla am beli pysgod, caiff y gynulleidfa ei thywys ar daith ddoniol a theimladwy yn erbyn cefndir dinas sy’n newid.

Crydd oedd Ab Solomons, a’r flwyddyn oedd 1926. Wrth roi ei becyn cyflog i’w wraig newydd Celie, gwnaeth lun arno. Drwy gydol eu priodas tan yr wythdegau, gwnaeth Ab lun neu fe baentiodd ar ei becyn cyflog iddi bob wythnos.

Blynyddoedd yn ddiweddarach, daeth Danny Braverman ar draws celf angof ei Or-ewythr Ab ar dros 2,000 o becynnau cyflog. A nawr, mae bread&circuses yn rhoi bywyd i’w stori yn y perfformiad llwyfan cyfareddol hwn.

Ruby Wax: Sane New World

Following her hugely popular appearance at the Sherman last October, Ruby Wax returns with her one woman show based on her critically acclaimed book Sane New World, helping us to understand why we sabotage our sanity with our own thinking. Sane New World shows us how to rewire our thinking to find calm in a frenetic world and how to become the master, not the slave, of our own minds.

This show is your passport to saner living. She might not be sane herself but she does a pretty good imitation.

Yn dilyn ei pherfformiad hynod boblogaidd olaf yn y Sherman, dychwelyd Ruby Wax yn ôl gyda’i sioe yn seiliedig ar ei llyfr Sane New World - llyfr a gafodd ganmoliaeth fawr - sy’n ein helpu i ddeall pam rydym yn gadael i’n meddyliau ein hunain danseilio ein pwyll. Mae Sane New World yn dangos i ni sut i feddwl yn wahanol er mwyn dod i hyd i dawelwch mewn byd gorffwyll a sut i fod yn feistr ar ein meddwl ein hunain, yn hytrach nag yn was iddo.

Y sioe hon yw eich pasbort i fyw bywyd yn eich iawn bwyll. Efallai nad yw yn ei hiawn bwyll ei hun, ond mae’n gallu ffugio hynny’n eithaf da.

“I for one am glad that this particular funny girl is on a quest to illuminate our mutual darkness. Wax makes you laugh out loud throughout”The Telegraph on Sane New World the book

Sherman 5, generously supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, is designed to give people who have never attended a performance at the Sherman Theatre the chance to do so.

Special Sherman 5 nights across the range of our artistic programme allow first-time audiences to experience a whole new world of the arts right here in Cardiff!

We believe that the arts have a place in everyone’s life and will be using the award from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to ensure that the Sherman Theatre is accessible for all people and communities.

Nod Sherman 5, a noddir yn hael gan Sefydliad Paul Hamlyn, yw rhoi cyfle i’r rhai nad ydynt erioed wedi gweld perfformiad yn Theatr y Sherman o’r blaen.

Bydd nosweithiau arbennig Sherman 5 ar draws ein rhaglenni artistig yn caniatáu i gynulleidfaoedd newydd brofi byd newydd o gelfyddydau yma yng Nghaerdydd!

Rydym yn credu bod lle i’r celfyddydau ym mywyd pawb a byddwn yn defnyddio’r arian gan Sefydliad Paul Hamlyn i sicrhau bod Theatr y Sherman yn hygyrch i bawb o bob cymuned.

how to find us sut i ddod o hyd i ni

We like to encourage more people, wherever possible, to walk, cycle and use public transport when visiting the Sherman Theatre. We can help by providing you with as much travel information and support as possible. It’s our small contribution towards helping to improve our environment, public health and quality of life.

By Foot, Bike & Public TransportThe Sherman Theatre is easily accessible on foot or bicycle – a 10 minute walk from the New Theatre, and 15 minutes from the Queen Street shopping area. There are a number of pink cycle-hoops along Senghennydd Road to securely park your bicycle. Cathays Train Station is only a 2 minute walk away and the No. 35 bus stops directly outside the building.

By CarFrom M4 East (Junction 29 A48) or M4 West (Junction 32) follow signs to the City Centre on the A470 (North Road). Pass Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and turn left onto Boulevard de Nantes. Turn first left onto Park Place and the first right onto St Andrew’s Place. Senghennydd Road is the first sharp turning on the left immediately after going under the bridge on St. Andrew’s Place.

ParkingThere are spaces available for blue badge holders located in front of the building. There is a drop-off point with a dropped kerb leading to the main entrance. On-street parking in this area is free after 6pm. Between 8am and 6pm Monday-Saturday Pay and Display parking meters are in operation. Same charges apply 10am – 5pm on Sunday. Senghennydd Road has short and long stay parking. These are clearly signposted.

Rydyn ni’n hoffi annog mwy o bobl, ble’n bosib, i gerdded, beicio a defnyddio trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus wrth ymweld â Theatr y Sherman. Fe allwn ni eich helpu trwy ddarparu cymaint o gymorth a gwybodaeth ar deithio â phosib, ar eich cyfer. Dyma’n cyfraniad bach ni tuag at helpu gwella ein hamgylchedd, iechyd y cyhoedd ac ansawdd bywyd.

Ar Droed, Beic a Cludiant CyhoeddusMae Theatr y Sherman yn hygyrch iawn ar droed neu ar feic - 10 munud y mae’n ei gymryd ar droed o’r New Theatre, a 15 munud o ardal siopa Heol y Frenhines. Mae yna nifer o gylchoedd beicio pinc ar hyd Ffordd Senghennydd er mwyn i chi barcio’ch beic yn ddiogel. Mae Gorsaf Drenau Cathays 2 munud i ffwrdd ar droed ac mae bws Rhif 35 yn stopio tu allan i’r adeilad.

Mewn CarO’r M4 o gyfeiriad y Dwyrain (Cyffordd 29 A48) neu o’r M4 o gyfeiriad y Gorllewin (Cyffordd 32) dilynwch yr arwyddion at Ganol y Ddinas ar yr A470 (Ffordd y Gogledd). Ewch heibio i Goleg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru a throwch i’r chwith i Boulevard de Nantes. Trowch i’r chwith i Park Place a chymerwch y troad cyntaf ar y dde i St Andrew’s Place. Ffordd Senghennydd yw’r troad llym cyntaf ar y chwith yn union wedi i chi fynd o dan y bont yn St. Andrew’s Place.

ParcioMae yna barcio mynediad i ddeiliaid bathodynnau glas o flaen yr adeilad. Mae yna fan gollwng gyda phalmant isel sy’n arwain at y brif fynedfa. Mae parcio ar y stryd yn yr ardal hon yn rhad ac am ddim ar ôl 6yh. Rhwng 8yb a 6yh o ddydd Llun i ddydd Sadwrn, mae mesuryddion parcio Talu ac Arddangos ar waith. Mae’r un taliadau’n berthnasol o 10yb - 5yp ar ddydd Sul. Mae yna barcio cyfnod byr a chyfnod hir ar Ffordd Senghennydd. Mae yna arwyddion clir at y rhain.
