Theatr Soffa

Theatr Soffa is an online community theatre company presenting live-streamed community performances through zoom in both English and Welsh. It was initially conceived by SPAN as a creative way to connect rurally isolated and housebound individuals across Pembrokeshire, by using the arts and innovative use of technology. To date we have produced and presented five live-streamed community productions in both English and Welsh whilst we have been living under lockdown conditions. In the earliest stages of lockdown Span simultaneously staged Welsh and English language productions of the classic Welsh drama, Under Milk Wood with a community cast of over forty people.  The first performance, in partnership with Cered and Menter Iaith Sir Benfro was of Dan Y Wenallt a translation of Dylan Thomas’s original text by T. James Jones.  The English version was performed the following evening. Watch the fantastic performances from Theatr Soffa.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6al9fnU-Yhs Below are two screenings, both with Welsh subtitles and the second with a BSL interpreter. https://vimeo.com/829007447 If you would like to view the footage with English subtitles.
