Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru production
From Montgomeryshire to London and then to America, very little prevented Nansi from venturing, as she charmed her audiences with her talent and unforgettable presence.
the 1920s, with Nansi at the pinnacle of her career, she’s at a crossroads. Is there room in her life for another love – a love other than for the harp?
Today, the legends that surround her colourful life are as alive as ever. Here was a woman ready to take on the world – one who didn’t give a hoot for convention.
A new play by Angharad Price that tells the story, to the sound of the harp, of Nansi Richards’s enchanting personality.
The production toured village halls across Wales.

Cynhyrchiad Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru
O Faldwyn i Lundain ac yna i America, doedd dim llawer yn rhwystro Nansi rhag mentro, wrth iddi swyno’i chynulleidfaoedd â’i dawn a’i hysbryd rhyfeddol.
Yn y 1920au, a hithau ar anterth ei gyrfa, mae telynores enwocaf Cymru’n sefyll ar groesffordd. A oes lle i gariad arall yn ei bywyd – cariad heblaw’r delyn?
Hyd heddiw, mae’r chwedloniaeth am ei bywyd lliwgar a chythryblus mor fyw ag erioed. Dyma ddynes oedd yn barod i herio confensiwn, gan dorri’i chwys ei hun.
Drama newydd gan Angharad Price sy’n codi’r llen, i sain y delyn, ar gymeriad hudolus Nansi Richards.

“Nansi has been one of the highlights of the theatrical year.”
“There was as much humour in the script as there was angst
and it was beautifully acted...The main stage was used sparingly and the four actors played numerous scenes among
the audience...a great spectacle for which Davies and director
Sarah Bickerton must be handed great credit.”
Eryl Crump
“Roedd y llwyfaniad ei hun yn ddigon o sioe, wrth i’r gyfarwyddwraig leol, Sarah Bickerton, drefnu noson lawen iawn ar ein cyfer. Cynhaliwyd y noson dan drawstiau hynafol y Stiwt, ym mhentre Llanfair Caereinion; gyda tanceri diodydd ar
y byrddau bar o’n blaen, fe ddigwyddodd y ‘ddrama’ o’n
cwmpas.”
