Join us for Illyria’s acclaimed outdoor theatre production of Romeo and Juliet at the beautiful Kymin gardens this July; a passionate, poetic and utterly gripping production of this Shakespeare favourite.

​Shakespeare states in the opening lines of this play that we are going to see an explosive swash-buckling romance. But the surprise he has in store for us is that it’s extremely funny too!

The Montagues and the Capulets are at war with one another - but when Montague's son gatecrashes Capulet’s party in disguise and falls in love with Capulet's daughter a chain-reaction of events is set in motion which has a devastating conclusion.

Illyria last performed this terrific play ten years ago; the production was Critic's Choice in Edinburgh, attracted 5-star reviews in Canada and received a nomination for Best of Fringe in Vancouver. It’s a thrill to be able to welcome Illyria back to the Kymin for summer 2024!

Ymunwch â ni ar gyfer cynhyrchiad theatr awyr agored Illyria o Romeo and Juliet yng ngerddi hardd y Cymin fis Gorffennaf eleni; cynhyrchiad angerddol, barddonol a hollol afaelgar o'r ffefryn Shakespeare hwn.

Fel y mae Shakespeare yn ei ddatgan yn llinellau agoriadol y ddrama hon, rydyn ni’n mynd i weld rhamant ffrwydrol. Ond y syndod mawr i ni yw ei bod yn ddoniol iawn hefyd!

Mae'r Montagues a'r Capulets yn rhyfela â'i gilydd - ond pan mae mab Montague yn mynd i barti’r Capulets mewn cuddwisg ac yn syrthio mewn cariad â merch Capulet mae cyfres o ddigwyddiadau ar waith sydd â diweddglo dinistriol.

Perfformiodd Illyria y ddrama wych hon ddiwethaf ddeng mlynedd yn ôl; roedd y cynhyrchiad yn Critic's Choice yng Nghaeredin, denodd adolygiadau 5 seren yng Nghanada a chafodd enwebiad am Best of Fringe yn Vancouver. Mae'n wefr gallu croesawu Illyria yn ôl i'r Cymin ar gyfer haf 2024!

Hyd y perfformiad (yn fras): 2 awr 20 munud (gan gynnwys egwyl 20 munud)

Addas i bob oed.

Nodiadau: Dewch â chadeiriau â chefn isel neu flancedi a gwisgwch yn gynnes! Mae croeso i chi ddod â phicnic (dim barbeciw), ond bydd lluniaeth ysgafn ar gael.

Nid oes cysgod os yw'n wlyb. Dim gasebos na pharsolau gardd mawr. Ni chaniateir ymbarelau oni bai eich bod yn eistedd yn y rhes gefn ac ni chaniateir cŵn heblaw cŵn cymorth. Nid oes maes parcio yn y lleoliad hwn.

Telerau ac Amodau: Dim ond stormydd mellt a tharanau difrifol fydd yn atal y perfformiad a gwneir pob ymdrech i ail-ddechrau. Bydd Illyria yn gwneud pob ymdrech i gwblhau'r perfformiad ac mae’n cadw'r hawl i stopio a dechrau yn ôl yr angen. Ni chaiff perfformiadau byth eu canslo na'u hatal cyn yr amser cychwyn a hysbysebir ac yna dim ond os bydd tywydd garw. Sylwch na allwn roi ad-daliadau am ganslo neu atal o ganlyniad i'r tywydd. Ni ellir ad-dalu tocynnau oni bai bod y trefnydd yn canslo'r digwyddiad am resymau heblaw'r tywydd.

Canslo os bydd tywydd peryglus dim ond pan fydd perfformiad yn cael ei aildrefnu. Ni ellir ad-dalu tocynnau.
