Ysgol Theatr Maldwyn Presents MELA

​On Saturday, 7 May Theatr Felinfach will welcome Ysgol Theatr Maldwyn to perform MELA, a musical drama about the problems faced by young people and the way adults often try to interfere negatively in their lives. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

With only three performances of MELA being performed across Wales, the cast and crew will present their show at Theatr Felinfach for one night only this May. The show – which was created by Linda Gittins, Derec Williams and Penri Roberts – looks at how adults find fault in young people and put obstacles in their way, as the youngsters try to improve their circumstances. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Rhian Dafydd from Theatr Felinfach said: “Ysgol Theatr Maldwyn’s aims and objectives are very similar to Theatr Felinfach, which is to give young people the opportunity to learn and gain confidence in theatre skills. This is a moving and emotional musical drama, which is performed to a high standard by the cast.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Cwmni Theatr Maldwyn and later Ysgol Theatr Maldwyn and Theatr Felinfach have worked closely together for over a quarter of a century. Ysgol Theatr Maldwyn was established in September 2004, in order to give young people opportunities to learn and develop theatre skills through the medium of the Welsh language. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The show will start at 7.30pm on Saturday 7 May, with tickets £10 for adult, £9 to Theatr Felinfach Friends / pensioners, and £8 young people and students.
