Forget Her Not by Rhys J Edwards

Rhys trained as a writer at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating with an MA in Text and Performance in 2017. He has written and directed various projects in theatre and audio drama. His credits include, Not John at the Gielgud Theatre (RADA Festival, 2017), The Count of Monte Cristo at Merchants Hall (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 2015) and Insane Assumptions at the Mike Barlow Theatre (Cardiff, 2013). He also co-created and wrote numerous episodes of the Radio Cardiff soap Sophia Square, which aired between 2012 and 2014.

"Forget Her Not follows the relationship between a young carer and her mother who has recently been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. The story started life as a monologue intended for stage, but the Wales Writer in Residence opportunity motivated Rhys to expand the story, excited at the prospect of incorporating new characters and experimenting with different uses of sound for radio. Inspired by Rhys’ personal experiences of working with people living with dementia, the audio-play highlights the struggles that young carers face, while finding the joy and humour still unwavering in lives touched by tragedy."

Forget Her Not gan Rhys J Edwards

Hyfforddodd Rhys fel awdur yn RADA gan raddio gyda gradd meistr mewn Testun a Pherfformiad yn 2017. Mae wedi ysgrifennu a chyfarwyddo nifer o wahanol brosiectau yn y theatr ac mewn dramâu sain. Mae ei gredydau'n cynnwys Not John yn Theatr Gielgud (G诺yl RADA, 2017), The Count of Monte Cristo yn Merchants Hall (G诺yl Ymylol Caeredin, 2015) and Insane Assumptions yn Theatr Mike Barlow (Caerdydd, 2013). Roedd hefyd yn gyfrifol am gyd-greu ac ysgrifennu sawl pennod o Sophia Square sef rhaglen sebon Radio Cardiff , a gafodd ei darlledu rhwng 2012 a 2014.

"Mae Forget Her Not yn dilyn y berthynas rhwng gofalwr ifanc a'i mam sydd newydd gael diagnosis o ddementia cynnar. Dechreuodd y stori fel monolog ar gyfer y llwyfan, ond fe wnaeth Awdur Preswyl Cymru ysgogi Rhys i ehangu'r stori, gan ei fod wedi cyffroi oherwydd y posibilrwydd o ymgorffori cymeriadau newydd ac arbrofi gyda gwahanol ffyrdd o ddefnyddio sain ar gyfer y radio. Mae'r ddrama wedi'i hysbrydoli gan brofiadau personol Rhys o weithio gyda phobl sy'n byw gyda dementia, ac mae'n tynnu sylw at yr heriau sy'n wynebu gofalwyr ifanc , tra'n dod o hyd i'r pleser a'r hiwmor sydd yn dal yno mewn bywydau sydd wedi dioddef trasiedi."

Ar hap mae'n cyfarfod Tash, merch yn ei harddegau gyda'i thrafferthion ei hun – mae'r Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol am gymryd ei brawd bach a'i roi mewn gofal. Ond er gwaethaf eu cysylltiad, mae Paul yn sylweddoli nad yw'n gallu gwneud dim i helpu Tash wrth iddi wrth iddi hithau ruthro tuag at y dibyn."

No Words is from the perspective of David, a non-verbal autistic boy who sees the difference between what is happening in the world around him, and what adults are telling him. Set in a Wales that ranges from the late Cretaceous period to a future one riven by climate change, the play is told through David’s inner voice, exploring the lies that humans tell each other to feel safe and how words themselves aren’t to be trusted. Also contains plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs and musical boxes."

Mae No Words yn ddrama o safbwynt David, bachgen awtistig di-eiriau sy'n gweld y gwahaniaeth rhwng beth sy'n digwydd yn y byd o'i gwmpas, a beth mae'r oedolion yn ei ddweud wrtho. Mae'r ddrama wedi ei gosod mewn Cymru sy'n mynd o ddiwedd y cyfnod Cretasaidd i ddyfodol sydd wedi'i ddinistrio gan newid hinsawdd, ac mae'n cael ei chyflwyno drwy lais mewnol David, gan drafod y celwyddau mae pobl yn eu dweud wrth ei gilydd er mwyn teimlo'n ddiogel ac a gan ystyried na ellir ymddiried mewn geiriau.

Mae ei chredydau ysgrifennu yn cynnwys Transporter ar gyfer Theatr Iolo, Thunder Road a Be Brave And Leave For The Unknown ar gyfer Theatr RedCape (ble mae hi'n Artist Cysylltiol), Light Waves Dark Skies (wedi'i hysgrifennu ar y cyd â Matt Ball), Our Curiosities (Artist preswyl gyda NTW), perfformiad mewn lleoliad penodol In Ruins, a Future Girls, sef drama a gomisiynwyd gan ysgol.

Mae cyfarfyddiad rhwng merch ifanc a'i nain, gyrrwr lori sy'n methu gadael, a dyn sydd wedi'i alltudio yn datgelu gwirioneddau tywyll ond gobeithiol am hunaniaeth, cyfathrebu, a grym cerddoriaeth. Dyma stori am wrando ar wahanol lefelau: ar y radio, ar gerddoriaeth, ar ein gilydd, ac ar bopeth arall."

Moonlight Grey by Rick Allden

In 2005, Rick graduated from Swansea University with a Masters in creative writing and has been trying to explain himself ever since.

He's had a smattering of plays produced, short stories published & two plucky attempts at podcasting. Over the past few years he's reached the longlist stage of both the 麻豆约拍 Writersroom’s Comedy Room and Drama Room and is delighted to have met some wonderful people along the way.

"In an effort to spark her ageing, inert husband back into life, pensioner Marion Grey fakes her own kidnap. She reasons that if she can tap into Leonard's obsession with Humphrey Bogart, he will regain the passion, hwyl and drive he once had. She never expected him to give her up as dead.

Cajoled by his loyal friend Jason, fighting off the advances of Helen the Hoover and with Marion working behind the scenes, Leonard is slowly teased back to life.

Moonlight Grey is a comic drama about how our lives, characters and stories are shaped by the people we care most about."

Moonlight Grey gan Rick Allden

Graddiodd Rick o Brifysgol Abertawe yn 2005 gyda gradd meistr mewn ysgrifennu creadigol ac mae wedi bod yn ceisio esbonio'i hun byth ers hynny.

Mae rhai o'i ddramâu wedi cael eu cynhyrchu, rhai o'i straeon byrion wedi cael eu cyhoeddi ac mae wedi rhoi dwy ymdrech lew ar bodledu. Dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf mae wedi cyrraedd y rhestr hir yr Ystafell Gomedi a'r Ystafell Ddrama dan Writers Room y 麻豆约拍 ac mae'n falch o fod wedi cwrdd â phobl wych ar hyd y ffordd.

"Mewn ymdrech i newid yn ei g诺r disymud, mae'r bensiynwraig Marion Grey yn ffugio cael ei herwgipio. Mae hi'n credu petai hi'n manteisio ar obsesiwn Leonard gyda Humphrey Bogart, y byddai'n adennill yr angerdd, yr hwyl a'r egni roedd ganddo ar un adeg. Doedd hi ddim yn disgwyl iddo beidio â chwilio amdani.
Mae Leonard yn cael ei berswadio gan ei ffrind ffyddlon Jason, yn ymladd yn erbyn fflyrtio Helen yr Hwfer a chyda Marion yn gweithio tu ôl i'r llenni, mae'n dod yn ôl yn fyw yn raddol.
Mae Moonlight Grey yn ddrama gomig am sut mae ein bywydau, ein cymeriadau a'n storïau yn cael eu siapio gan y bobl rydym yn poeni fwyaf amdanynt."

Mae Alys yn cael ei llorio gan deimladau o ddryswch ac anghrediniaeth. Er mwyn gwneud synnwyr o bethau mae hi'n dechrau ymchwilio i baedoffilia ar-lein ac mae hi'n dod o hyd i wefan sydd wedi'i sefydlu gan Christian sy'n cyfaddef ei fod yn baedoffilydd 'diwair'. Maen nhw’n datblygu perthynas gyfrinachol, agos ond cymhleth, ond ai Christian yw'r person iawn i'w helpu i ddod i delerau ag effaith digwyddiadau mor ofnadwy?"

Heart Full by Matthew Ingram

Matthew is an emerging writer for theatre, TV and radio born and raised in Wales, and currently based in Yorkshire. He has been developed by Sherman Theatre, Leeds Playhouse, The Writing Squad and 麻豆约拍 Writersroom’s Northern Voices scheme, after being shortlisted for the 2018 Writersroom Drama Room. He has recently had a short piece broadcast as part of 麻豆约拍 Radio 3's The Verb and was a supported writer on The North Wall's Catalyst residency. He is currently developing a range of projects across theatre, television and radio.

"Heart Full is a drama about Dylan, a 12 year-old overweight child who is caught stealing food from the school canteen, and his mother and teachers’ attempts to get to the bottom of his behaviour so that they help him. The piece touches on themes including the relationship between socioeconomics and food, children’s mental health and corporal punishment. Ultimately, though, it’s a story about a child who is trying to find help even if he doesn’t know it, and a support network who are desperately trying (and failing) to get through to him."

Heart Full gan Matthew Ingram

Mae Matthew yn awdur newydd ar gyfer theatr, teledu a radio. Cafodd ei eni a'i fagu yng Nghymru ac ar hyn o bryd mae'n byw yn Swydd Efrog. Mae wedi cael ei ddatblygu gan Theatr Sherman, Leeds Playhouse, The Writing Squad a chynllun Lleisiau'r Gogledd dan Writers Room y 麻豆约拍 , ar ôl bod ar y rhestr fer ar gyfer yr Ystafell Ddrama dana Writers Room yn 2018. Yn ddiweddar cafodd darn byr o'i waith ei ddarlledu fel rhan o The Verb 麻豆约拍 ar Radio 3 a chafodd gefnogaeth cynllun preswyl Catalyst The North Wall. Ar hyn o bryd mae'n datblygu amrywiaeth o brosiectau ar gyfer theatr, teledu a radio.

"Mae Heart Full yn ddrama am Dylan, bachgen 12 oed sydd dros bwysau ac sy'n cael ei ddal yn dwyn bwyd o ffreutur yr ysgol, ac ymdrechion ei fam a'i athrawon i fynd at wraidd ei ymddygiad fel eu bod nhw'n gallu ei helpu. Mae'r darn yn cyffwrdd ar themâu sy'n gynnwys y berthynas rhwng economeg gymdeithasol a bwyd, iechyd meddwl plant a chosb gorfforol. Ond, yn y pen draw, mae'n stori am blentyn sy'n chwilio am help hyd yn oed os nad yw'n gwybod hynny, a rhwydwaith gefnogi sy'n ceisio'u gorau (ac yn methu) i'w gyrraedd."
