Y Consortiwm Cymraeg presents
Y Fenyw Mewn Du
By Stephen Malatratt & Susan Hill
Translated by Gwawr Loader
Directed by Geinor Styles
The Welsh language premiere of the West End hit that has been thrilling audiences
for 30 years.
It was nine-thirty on Christmas Eve…
There was a time when Arthur Kipps did not believe in ghosts. But that was before
he visited Eel Marsh House. In desperation, Arthur hires an actor to help him tell his story and finally rid him of the horrors that haunt him.
Following the success of Shirley Valentine, Y Consortiwm Cymraeg returns with a fresh staging of this terrifying tale.
Will you dare to see Y Fenyw Mewn Du?
There will be BSL interpretation by Simon Johanson and Audio Description by Tonya Smith on the following dates: 27th October, 3rd November, 11th November and 17th November.
Sibrwd, a language access app, will be available at the following performances: 28th October, 2nd November, 10 November and 18th November.

Storytelling sessions
Are you a Welsh learner or somebody who wants to improve your Welsh speaking skills in a creative and fun way?
Have you a story to share of spooky experiences of things that go bump in the night?Wales is a land awash with supernatural tales. Every village and vale has a ghost story, every town a tale of the Tylwyth Teg.
To coincide with the Consortiwm Cymraeg’s performances of Y Fenyw Mewn Du, Owen Staton, professional storyteller, will help you to tell your tale and to share your story in Welsh. You will be encouraged to use the Welsh language by learning to tell these tales traditionally, just like the storytellers of old.
The sessions will also be an opportunity to learn new stories and legends of your local area.
All levels of Welsh speakers are welcome, and everyone will be supported in using the language as much as they wish.
Come and share your stories with us. The Woman in Black would love to hear them.
