No Other Day Like Today | Diwrnod Heb Ei Debyg

Synopsis:
the NYTW production this year is, for the first time ever, written by young people themselves. early in Tim Baker's period as artistic Director he formed a group of young writers who have been meeting and working together ever since. they have invented a modern day Welsh community, typical of any town in Wales yet like no other, and the show follows the fortunes of its inhabitants, both living and dead, during one day. It is a typical day - yet at the same time - like no other as the past haunts, and the present suggests an uncertain future. Somewhere in the early morning a distraught girl steps onto a bridge parapet, while at lunchtime celebrations begin for the marriage of the year, and at dusk a shot rings out in Afghanistan. . . as in the past two years this will be a big ensemble production combining comedy with great Drama, with songs, music, movement and a strong bilingual element.

Rape Of the Fair Country

Synopsis:
Compelling Drama that captures a family's role in their nation's turbulent past. It is 1826. the Mortymers are a Welsh family caught in the bitter crossfire between their english employers and the early trade union movement. Morfydd opposes the changes transforming their beautiful South Wales valley, but her easy going brother Iestyn and his best friend Mo Jenkins are more concerned with winning punch-ups. . .and women! Moments of warm humour and great poignancy abound as we are swept from the fiery hell of the furnaces to the icy stillness of a Welsh mountainside and on to bloody scenes of rebellion.
