Frân Wen are encouraging all visitors to the National Eisteddfod to post their ideas through the letterbox of a bright yellow door situated in the Pentref Drama.
“The artists will be pulling the theme of the production out of a hat at 12pm on Friday (August 11) at the Theatre Cafe and this will act as the inspiration for the live production,” said Iola Ynyr, Frân Wen’s artistic director.
The crew will be working overnight to create a piece of theatre that will be performed in Theatr y Maes at 12pm on the last Saturday (12 August) of the festival.
“We have a superb mix of artists – from performers Casi Wyn, Mali Tudno Jones and Owain Gwynn, to composer Osian Gwynedd and director Branwen Davies.
“As a team we can’t wait to react theatrically to what to public give us – and to create a really exciting piece of theatre,” added Iola.
