‘There are times when fiction is truer than truth’.

Bill Hamblett recalls how his dad’s fantasy novel, The Crazy Kill, was inspired by true events surrounding the filming of Moby Dick, and led to a small boy rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty.

The man organising the giant lantern parade at Fishguard and Goodwick’s Ar Ymyl y Tir/On Land’s Edge Moby Dick-themed festival has a unique connection with the great white whale.

Bill Hamblett, director of Cardigan’s Small World Theatre, was a near-neighbour of leading man Gregory Peck in California during the late 1950s and his father, Charles, a Hollywood screenwriter who worked on John Huston’s classic 1956 movie.

Bill has offbeat recollections on the creation of Huston’s masterpiece, as well as his own family’s colourful background including a link to John Lennon!

'Mae adegau pan fod ffuglen yn fwy gwir na gwirionedd’.

Mae Bill Hamblett yn cofio sut y cafodd nofel ffantasi ei dad, The Crazy Kill, ei hysbrydoli gan ddigwyddiadau gwir o amgylch ffilmio Moby Dick. Arweiniodd hyn at fachgen bach yn rhwbio ysgwyddau gyda theulu brenhinol Hollywood.

Mae gan y dyn a drefnodd yr Gorymdaith lusernau enfawr Moby Dick yng Ngŵyl Ar Ymyl y Tir/On Land’s Edge yn Abergwaun ac Wdig, gysylltiad unigryw â’r morfil gwyn mawr.

Roedd teulu Bill Hamblett, sy’n gyfarwyddwr Theatr Byd Bach Aberteifi, yn gymydogion agos i’r prif actor Gregory Peck yng Nghaliffornia yn ystod diwedd y 1950au. Gwaith tad Bill, Charles Hamblett, oedd ysgrifennu sgriptiau yn Hollywood, gan gynnwys sgript ffilm glasurol John Huston yn 1956.

Bydd Bill yn rhannu ei atgofion anarferol am greu campwaith Huston, yn ogystal â chefndir lliwgar ei deulu ei hun gan gynnwys cysylltiad â John Lennon!

Director: Rohan Parashuram Kanawade/2025/India/113mins/Subtitles

This quietly radical debut feature film is a beautifully constructed romantic drama : a meditation on tackling grief and falling in love. Shot in the village where Kanawade’s mother was raised, it was partly inspired by his own experience.

The film won the World Cinema Grand Prize at Sundance Film Festival.

Ffilm sy’n fersiwn actorion byw o’r cynhyrchiad animeiddedig yn 2016. Mae Dwayne Johnson yn dychwelyd fel yr hanner duw Maui sy'n gallu newid ei siâp. Mae Moana (Catherine Laga’aia) yn ateb galwad y Cefnfor ac yn teithio y tu hwnt i riff ei hynys Montunui ar daith bythgofiadwy i adfer calon Te Fiti a dod â ffyniant i'w phobl.

In celebration of the 70th anniversary of its release, On Land’s Edge presents a special screening of ‘Moby Dick’, which was filmed right here in Fishguard!

Largely filmed in Fishguard Bay, Moby Dick (1956), directed by John Huston and based on Herman Melville’s great American novel, follows young sailor named Ishmael (Richard Basehart) who joins the whaling ship The Pequod under the command of the brooding Captain Ahab, played by Gregory Peck.

The impressionable Ishmael and harpoonist Queequeg (Friedrich von Ledeber), who befriends him, join the ship’s crew despite the dire quayside warnings of a strange man named Elijah (Royal Dano) who tells them The Pequod is cursed and that all who sail with Ahab will meet their doom.

Ahab’s life is consumed by a vengeful obsession to hunt the giant white whale that maimed him, leaving him with an artificial leg carved out of whalebone.

As the movie unfolds, he leads the Pequod’s crew into a perilous, high‑stakes voyage in grim pursuit of his quarry, blind to the instincts and fears of others.

With powerful performances—especially Gregory Peck’s intense Ahab—and fine supporting roles played by Leo Genn (Starbuck), Orson Welles (Father Mapple) and Harry Andrews (Stubb), Moby Dick remains a gripping, memorable adaptation as the fanatical Ahab follows the great white whale to the ends of the earth on a quest which can only end in tragedy...

I ddathlu 70 mlynedd ers ei rhyddhau, mae On Land’s Edge yn cyflwyno dangosiad arbennig o ‘Moby Dick’, a ffilmiwyd yma yn Abergwaun!

Wedi’i ffilmio’n bennaf ym Mae Abergwaun, mae Moby Dick (1956), wedi’i gyfarwyddo gan ac yn seiliedig ar nofel Americanaidd wych Herman Melville. Mae morwr ifanc o’r enw Ishmael (Richard Basehart) yn ymuno â’r llong hela morfilod Y Pequod dan law Capten Ahab, a chwaraeir gan Gregory Peck.

Mae Ishmael yn un hawdd ei ddylanwadu, ond mae e a’r harpwnydd Queequeg (Friedrich von Ledeber), yn dod yn ffrindiau. Maent yn ymuno â chriw’r llong er gwaethaf rhybuddion difrifol ar y cei gan ddyn dieithr o’r enw Elijah (Royal Dano) sy’n dweud wrthyn nhw fod Y Pequod wedi’i felltithio a bod pawb sy’n hwylio gydag Ahab yn mynd i wynebu eu tynged.

Mae bywyd Ahab yn cael ei arwain gan obsesiwn dialgar i hela’r morfil gwyn enfawr a’i anafodd, gan ei adael â choes artiffisial wedi’i cherfio allan o asgwrn morfil.

Wrth i'r ffilm ddatblygu, mae Ahab yn arwain criw'r Pequod ar fordaith beryglus, llawn risgiau, wrth ddilyn ei ob sesiwn, heb sylwi ar reddfau ac ofnau eraill.

Gyda pherfformiadau pwerus—yn enwedig yr Ahab dwys gan Gregory Peck—a rolau cefnogol gwych a chwaraeir gan Leo Genn (Starbuck), Orson Welles (Father Mapple) a Harry Andrews (Stubb), mae Moby Dick yn parhau i fod yn addasiad gafaelgar a chofiadwy. Dilynwn y morfil gwyn mawr i ben draw'r ddaear ar daith na all ond orffen gyda thrasiedi...

The Misanthrope

By Martin Crimp

after Molière

Director: Indhu Rubasingham/2026/UK

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.

Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash

becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

Film rating 15 TBC

The Misanthrope

By Martin Crimp

after Molière

Cyfarwyddwr: Indhu Rubasingham/2026/UK

Enillydd gwobrau Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) yn chwarae rôl y pennawd yn ail-lun cryf o gomedi dywyll glasurol Molière.

Nid yw dweud y gwir bob amser mor syml. Mae Alice, nofelydd rhagorol, yn casáu celwyddau wedi’u cynllunio’n ofalus cymdeithas gyfoes. Ond yr wythnos y mae’n herio’r rhai o’i chwmpas, y mwyaf disglair yw’r adweithiau gwrthwynebol. Yn fuan, rhaid iddi wynebu pris dweud ei gwir mewn byd a fyddai’n well ganddo ei thawelu.

Ffilmwyd yn fyw ar lwyfan yn Theatr Genedlaethol, ac mae Indhu Rubasingham yn gyfarwyddo ddrama ddisgwyliedig Martin Crimp (Cyrano de Bergerac).

From the play by Orson Welles, adapted from Herman Melville

In 1954, while working on his starring role in the film Moby Dick, the great actor and director Orson Welles wrote a play based on Herman Melville’s novel. The play is set in a New York theatre where a company of actors are rehearsing a production of King Lear. One of the actors has written a play based on Melville’s book, and persuaded the company’s director to let him organise a read-through of the play.

We are opening On Land’s Edge 2026 with a staged reading of an abridged version of the play, using local actors (including some familiar faces in the twin towns). You will thrill as they conjure up the Pequod’s voyage on stormy seas, as the search for whales turns into a desperate hunt for one particular whale. Sail alongside the curious observer and story-teller Ishmael, the upright and conscience-driven first mate Starbuck, and the obsessive, terrifying Captain Ahab.

This amateur production of ‘Moby Dick – Rehearsed’ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

O'r ddrama gan Orson Welles, wedi'i haddasu o gyfrol Herman Melville

Ym 1954, wrth weithio ar ei brif ran yn y ffilm Moby Dick, ysgrifennodd yr actor a'r cyfarwyddwr gwych Orson Welles ddrama yn seiliedig ar nofel Herman Melville. Mae'r ddrama wedi'i lleoli mewn theatr yn Efrog Newydd lle mae cwmni o actorion yn ymarfer cynhyrchiad o King Lear. Mae un o'r actorion wedi ysgrifennu drama yn seiliedig ar lyfr Melville, ac wedi perswadio cyfarwyddwr y cwmni i adael iddo drefnu darlleniad o'r ddrama.

Rydym yn agor On Land's Edge 2026 gyda darlleniad llwyfan o fersiwn fyrrach o'r ddrama, gan ddefnyddio actorion lleol (gan gynnwys rhai wynebau cyfarwydd o Abergwaun ac Wdig). Cewch eich cyffroi wrth iddynt ddychmygu taith y Pequod ar foroedd stormus, yn chwilio am forfilod mewn helfa anobeithiol am un morfil penodol. Hwyliwch ochr yn ochr â'r sylwedydd chwilfrydig ac adroddwr straeon Ishmael, y prif fêt unionsyth a chydwybodol Starbuck, a'r Capten Ahab obsesiynol, brawychus.

Cyflwynir y cynhyrchiad amatur hwn o ‘Moby Dick – Rehearsed’ trwy drefniant gyda Concord Theatricals Ltd. ar ran Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
