EFFI O BLAENAU @ NEUADD OGWEN 16.07.26
Advertisement
Yn seiliedig ar fonodrama enwog a chanmoladwy Gary Owen, Iphigenia in Splott, mae Effi o Blaenau yn ddehongliad sinematig gan y cyfarwyddwr Marc Evans, wedi’i osod yn erbyn tirweddau eang Gogledd Cymru.
Wrth i Effi ddygymod â’i chylch wythnosol o ddiweithdra, clybio, a chur pen, mae’n digwydd cwrdd â Lee, milwr wedi’i anafu, mewn clwb nos yn Llandudno, sydd am eiliad yn agor y drws i rywbeth gwell. Am funud, mae Effi’n cael cipolwg ar fywyd na fuasai hi erioed wedi’i ddychmygu. Mae’r realiti sy’n dilyn yn llawer anos.
-----------------------------------
Based on Gary Owen’s much lauded and widely performed monodrama, Iphigenia in Splott, Effi o Blaenau is director Marc Evans’ cinematic interpretation set against the wide open landscapes of North Wales.
The film follows Effi, a young woman who learns firsthand the personal costs of our societal shortcomings. Grappling with her weekly loop of unemployment, clubbing and hangovers, Effi has a chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee, briefly opening a door to something better. For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher.
“A tremendous performance from Gwenllian”
“Blistering”
“An absorbing, propulsive story that keeps you on the edge of your seat”
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
