Y Consortiwm Cymraeg was set up by Theatr na nÓg and three venues to present high-quality, accessible Welsh language theatre and to produce a programme of participation for communities to improve their language skills and also engage in arts and culture on their doorstep.
Theatr Soar in Merthyr Tydfil, The Welfare in Ystradgynlais and Awen Cultural Trust joined forces with us to rekindle the vitality and value of their venues to their communities. The Consortiwm is supported by the Arts Council of Wales' Connect and Flourish Fund.
To support the Welsh Government's target of a million Welsh speakers by 2050, and all vital elements that contribute to the regeneration of our language and culture.
We are encouraged that the Arts Council of Wales supports such ventures and partnerships. The fact that they see the importance of safeguarding Welsh language arts in our communities bodes well for our future.
The Consortiwm produced a Welsh translation of 'Shirley Valentine' in 2022, and now return with a Welsh version of the thrilling 'The Woman in Black', Y Fenyw Mewn Du, on tour Autumn 2023.
