Ym mis Hydref 2024, rhannon ni ein cynhyrchiad diweddaraf am y tro cyntaf, A Visit gan Siân Owen. Roedd ymateb y cynulleidfaoedd yn arbennig o gadarnhaol. ‘Dyn ni’n bwriadu teithio’r sioe hynod hon yn 2025.
Mae A Visit yn ymwneud â throsedd a chyfiawnder ac am bwy sydd i ofalu am y plant pan gaiff mam ei hanfon i garchar?
Mae Angharad, sy’n bymtheg mlwydd oed, yn ymweld â’i mam, Ffion, mewn carchar ymhell o’u cartref yn Aberdâr. Caiff hi ei chymryd yno gan ei modryb, Carys, sydd wedi bod yn gwneud ei gorau i ofalu amdani, ond ‘dyw gofalu am ferch yn ei harddegau ddim yn hawdd. A doedd Anti Carys erioed wedi bwriadu bod yn fam. Pwy felly sy’n mynd i ofalu am Angharad?
Mae Bridget Keehan a Siân Owen o Papertrail wedi creu darn o theatr afaelgar, a gafodd ei ysbrydoli gan straeon bywyd go iawn y menywod a’r bobl ifanc y buon nhw’n gweithio gyda.

Audience responses and reviews :
“A Visit is a must-see force of a production…If you want to see more plays but never seem to find the time, make time for A Visit. If you want to get out of the house, use your freedom to see A Visit. If you know or don’t know anyone who has been incarcerated, go and see A Visit. Go with your mother. Go with your sisters. Go with your friends. Go on your own. Go and see A Visit.”
Nation.Cymru
“The device of two British Sign Language interpreters (Claire Anderson and Cathryn McShane) playing prison guards with an almost phantom-like presence, while signing the dialogue, is inspired.”
The Stage
“”A hard hitting, relevant piece for our time, excellently delivered by a talented cast and production team.”
Get The Chance
“What a fantastic experience seeing A Visit at YMa, so powerful emotive and raw. The acting, the music, the incredible inclusivity-every bit of it was superb.”
Alex Jones MP for Pontypridd.
“Stunning performances. Heartbreaking. So glad I went.”
Lisa Parry
“Congratulations to @bridgetekee @SianOCx
& the cast for such a beautiful heart wrenching cry for change in the prison system. A Visit highlights that social injustice leads to criminal injustice – punishing mothers & families with no public benefit whatever #timeforchange “
Anna Hermann, Clean Break.
