EIN HANES


THE LAST INVASION: WAR, WOMEN AND MEMORY 1797-1997


Speaker: Hywel M. Davies


The ‘Fishguard Invasion’ was a serious event, men were killed on both sides and women were raped. Almost immediately, stories of women in red livery appeared and acts of individual heroism would be associated above all with Jemima Nicholas.


The telling and retelling of the story peaked at times of fear of invasion and war. Resilient to public doubt and professional scorn the ‘legend’ of the women survived as popular ‘myth’ if not as history.  


The talk will investigate the event, how it was recorded, depicted over time, and its lasting impact.

Siaradwr: Hywel M. Davies


Roedd ‘Glaniad y Ffrancod’ yn ddigwyddiad difrifol, lladdwyd dynion ar y ddwy ochr a threisiwyd menywod. Bron yn syth ymddangosodd straeon am fenywod mewn lifrai coch a chysylltwyd gweithredoedd o arwriaeth unigol â Jemima Nicholas.


Bu adrodd ac ailadrodd y stori ar adegau o ofn goresgyniad a rhyfel. Er gwaethaf amheuaeth gyhoeddus a dirmyg proffesiynol, goroesodd ‘chwedl’ y menywod fel ‘myth’ poblogaidd os nad fel hanes.


Bydd y sgwrs yn ymchwilio i’r digwyddiad, sut y cafodd ei gofnodi, ei bortreadu dros amser, a’i effaith barhaol.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses


By Christopher Hampton


Based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos


Directed by Marianne Elliott


BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.


Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.


Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

Gan Christopher Hampton


Yn seiliedig ar y nofel gan Pierre Choderlos de Laclos


Cyfarwyddwr: Marianne Elliott


Mae Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread), enillydd Gwobr BAFTA, yn ymuno ag Aidan Turner (Rivals) mewn llwyfaniad newydd trawiadol o addasiad enwog Christopher Hampton o'r nofel glasurol hon. Ynddi, gall un camgymeriad, ymhlith salonau disglair y dosbarth uchaf, olygu dinistr.


Mae Marquise de Merteuil yn feistr yn y gelfyddyd o oroesi. Ochr yn ochr â'r Vicomte de Valmont magnetig, mae’n troi hudo yn strategaeth ac yn creu arf o chwant. Ond pan fydd cynghrair y ddau yn chwalu, ac mae'r frwydr rhyngddynt yn bygwth dinistrio pawb yn eu llwybr.


Wedi'i ffilmio'n fyw ar lwyfan yn y Theatr Genedlaethol, mae Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) yn cyfarwyddo'r gêm gyffrous hon o gariad, celwyddau a rhyfel cymdeithasol.
