This, the most popular and razor witted of Oscar Wilde’s social comedies is a brilliant demonstration of the dramatic diamond cutter’s art. Mappa Mundi’s brand new and perfectly honed production allows a modern audience to be dazzled by that brilliance.

Jack and Algy are in love with Gwendolen and Cecily, who both believe themselves to be in love with the non-existent Ernest. Add a handbag, an absent minded nanny and the redoubtable Lady Bracknell into the wonderful lunacy and symmetry of the plot and you have the ultimate satirical farce. Wilde’s sparkling one-liners shine through to skewer the manners and morals of the pretentious and those to the manor born.

Mappa Mundi’s set, costume, music, and lighting display all the mechanics of theatre with an elaborate perfection. Audiences can look forward to a high quality and unique rendition of this, the most dazzling of comedies, from a company at the forefront of theatre in Wales. Make sure you catch them – this is a real gem!

Mae’r comedi cymdeithasol mwyaf poblogaidd a ffraeth hwn o waith Oscar Wilde, yn esiampl wych o ddawn finiog tu hwnt yr awdur. Mae cynhyrchiad newydd sbon Mappa Mundi, sydd wedi’i siapio i berffeithrwydd yn caniatáu cynulleidfa fodern i werthfawrogi’r disgleirdeb hwnnw’n llawn.

Mae Jack ac Algy mewn cariad gyda Gwendolyn a Cecily, ac mae’r ddwy yn credu eu bod mewn cariad gyda Ernest, nad yw serch hynny’n bodoli. Ychwanegwch fag llaw, nani anghofus a’r Lady Bracknell anorthrech i wiriondeb hyfryd a chymesuredd y plot, a bydd gennych y ffars dychanol pennaf. Mae ymadroddion bachog Wilde yn ennill y dydd ac yn cwestiynu moesau yr ymhongar a’r rhai o dras uchel.

Mae set, gwisgoedd, cerddoriaeth a goleuadau Mappa Mundi yn amlygu mecanweithiau theatr gyda pherffeithrwydd manwl. Gall y gynulleidfa edrych ymlaen at berfformiad unigryw o safon uchel o’r comedi mwyaf aruthrol, gan gwmni sydd ar flaen theatr yng Nghymru. Byddwch yn siwr o ddal y sioe neilltuol hon.
