The Welsh premiere of White Lies by Robert Shearman 

Claire and Simon have been married for years. Everything is fine. Just fine. But somehow, they think there must be more to life than duck a l’orange every Wednesday…

Enter Roger. An imaginary friend to spice up their relationship….with unexpected consequences.

This razor-sharp observational comedy is written by award-winning Dr. Who script-writer Robert Shearman, and deals with sensitive contemporary issues from identity to loneliness in a compassionate, supportive and funny manner.

Y perfformiad cyntaf yng Nghymru o White Lies gan Robert Shearman

Mae Claire a Simon wedi bod yn briod ers blynyddoedd. Mae mwy i fywyd na duck à l’orange … fel Roger.  Ffrind dychmygol i ychwanegu ychydig o sbeis at y berthynas … gyda chanlyniadau annisgwyl.

Mae’r comedi arsylwadol finiog hon wedi’i hysgrifennu gan y sgriptiwr arobryn, Robert Shearman, un o sgriptwyr Doctor Who, ac mae’n delio â materion cyfoes, o hunaniaeth i unigrwydd, mewn modd tosturiol, cefnogol a doniol.

Mae’r cwmni theatr a ddaeth â Shirley Valentine, It’s A Wonderful Life a Casablanca i chi yn dod â’i steil theatrig i berl fodern.

Cydweithio gyda Canolfan Celfyddydau Ponatardae a Chyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.
