A Welsh theatre company is launching an app which will allow audiences to enjoy its plays in other languages.

Sibrwd, which means Whisper in Welsh, will offer theatre-goers the chance to listen to key lines and explanations of certain scenes in English through their headphones.

Developed by Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru, the Welsh language national theatre, the app could be adapted for performances in other languages all over the world.

The Welsh theatre company hopes the app will provide a more “fulfilling experience” than subtitles projected onto a screen, which have been used in the past.

Carys Ifan, executive producer of Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru described the smartphone app as “much more creative and more involved as part of the production”. More.
