"As a queer young person, I was so excited and happy because I'd never seen another gender-diverse person on the stage before." Aelod o'r gynulleidfa

Roedd Feral Monster yn stori dod i oed am fwrlwm llencyndod a deithiodd i 5 lleoliad ledled Cymru ym mis Chwefror a mis Mawrth 2024.

Fe wnaethom flaenoriaethu recriwtio tîm creadigol LHDTQIA+ i gyd i adrodd y stori garu ryfedd hon. I lawer o’r cast, y bobl greadigol a’r criw, dyma oedd eu cyfle cyntaf i weithio ar gynhyrchiad cerddorol ar raddfa fawr.

"To have this opportunity to have my work produced by a national theatre company and for the queerness of it to be celebrated has been so valuable for me on a personal and professional level. I am hoping it will open doors for me to create more queer theatre, both in and out of Wales." Bethan Marlow, dramodydd Feral Monster
