Cysgu n brysur Friday, 18 th of March, Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern GCSE Drama class had the opportunity to see the Cysgu n brysur play by Arad Goch at the Galeri, Caernarfon. The history of young people s lives and the pressures teenagers face. We had a wonderful experience of watching all the talents on stage performing with a high standard of acting. Acting was not the only thing the professional performers can do, but also had the ability to sing and dance. The cast and director, Bethan Marlow deserved high praise. Everyone enjoyed the production, and we would been thrilled to go to watch the show again, or any other productions by Arad Goch. It was easy to sympathise with the characters and their situations. Thanks to Mr Arwyn Roberts for organising and for the opportunity to go to the Gallery. Mali Shock-Roberts and Gwenno Pritchard
