WELSH actor Rhodri Meilir, who was recently seen in the gripping TV series "Hidden," which was filmed around Anglesey and Llanberis, is appearing in Bara Caws’ latest production.

‘Dwyn i gof’ (Bring to Mind) by Meic Povey features a host of award winning actors who are well-known faces on stage and screen including Sara Gregory, Gwenno Elis Hodgkins and Llion Williams.

The Welsh language production (with an English precis available) opens at the Galeri, Caernarfon, on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 9 and 10.

The play will then tour venues in North Wales including Neuadd Dwyfor, Pwllhwli, Theatr Ysgol Syr Thomas Jones, Amlwch, Pontio, Bangor, Theatr Clwyd, Mold, Neuadd Buddug, Y Bala, Little Theatr, Dolgellau, Theatr Twm o’r Nant, Denbigh - before going down to South Wales.

Bara Caws is one of the oldest Welsh language theatre companies in Wales and celebrated its 41st birthday in August 2018.

In Dwyn i Gof, Huw and Bet have been married for 40 years and their only child, Gareth, is about to marry Cerys. There are arrangements to be made. Huw insists on taking part, but with his mind slowly disintegrating secrets old and new could be disclosed. But is Huw quite as bad as he seems? How does Bet cope with her situation? Why is Gareth so obsessed with ‘the sins of the fathers’, and does Cerys see the father reflected in the son?

It is thought-provoking take on this omnipresent topic combines humour and tragedy.

Meic said: “I wanted to write about this particular subject because: Of all the things that can kill us — and as that famous American, (sic) Anthony Hopkins, once said, ‘nobody gets out of this alive’ — personally, losing your mind is what frightens me most.”

Betsan Llwyd, Bara Caws’ artistic director explains: “Meic had sent us the play last year, and we had just started discussing the project further when he became gravely ill. He’d already said that there was work to do on it, so that left me in a quandary. Then a couple of days after he died I received a card from him, sent by Catrin his daughter, and in his own inimitable way, challenging me to get to grips with the work asap — and as Catrin said — ‘Who are we to ignore that?’ So here we are! I’ll miss the opportunity to discuss, debate and challenge, but it will be — as always — a privilege.”
