SUMMARY:The People’s Fire: A Chartist Tale
DESCRIPTION:Step into history with The People’s Fire: A Chartist Tale.\nThis powerful five-part theatre experience brings the Chartist Trial to life\, following the events through the eyes of John Frost\, Mary Frost\, William Jones\, Zephaniah Williams\, and others whose voices helped shape a movement.\nBlending drama and original songs\, the production explores courage\, conviction\, and the tension between justice and power\, including the presence of a judge determined to uphold the law. The People’s Fire reignites a defining moment in history\, inviting audiences to witness the human stories behind the struggle for reform.\nA compelling theatrical journey where history’s flame burns bright once more.\n\nYmunwch yn hanes cyffrous y Siartwyr gyda’r sioe gerdd newydd Tân y Bobl: Stori’r Siartwyr.\nProfiad theatrig grymus\, wedi’i rannu’n bump rhan\, yn dod â hanes anhygoel y cyfnod yn fyw. Cyfle i ddilyn y digwyddiadau trwy lygaid John Frost\, Mary Frost\, William Jones\, Zephaniah Williams a’r criw arbennig a helpodd i siapio’r mudiad. Gan gyfuno drama a cherddoriaeth wreiddiol\, mae’r cynhyrchiad yn trafod yn ddwys y dewrder\, hyder\, a’r tensiwn rhwng cyfiawnder a phŵer.\nMae Tân y Bobl yn ailgydio yn amser allweddol yn hanes Cymru\, gan wahodd cynulleidfaoedd i weld y straeon dynol tu ôl i’r frwydr dros ddiwygio. Taith theatrig ddiddorol lle mae fflam hanes yn cael ei gynnau unwaith eto.

SUMMARY:Ring Round The Moon
DESCRIPTION:RING ROUND THE MOON \nStep into a glittering winter-garden ball where mischief\, mistaken identity\, and matters of the heart collide. Twin brothers — the scheming Hugo and the hopelessly romantic Frédéric — find themselves entangled in a whirl of love\, money\, and masquerade. With a poor ballet dancer posing as a society belle\, a rich heiress in pursuit\, and a host of eccentric guests\, everyone’s going “round the moon” — in love with the wrong person\, clinging to old dreams\, and stumbling into farce. \nSuitcase Theatre brings Jean Anouilh’s elegant\, witty comedy (translated by Christopher Fry) to life with a festive twist — sparkling\, romantic\, and full of mischief. Suitable for ages 12 and up. \n  \nTickets available at www.suitcasetheatrecompany.com
