What’s on

Your Theatre

Through the shows we make here in Cathays we tell stories for the people of Cardiff – stories that really mean something. We premiere the sharpest new plays by Welsh and Wales-based writers in our Studio. In our Main House we stage new versions of classic plays and spectacular productions for all the family at Christmas time.

The Sherman is a place for everyone, where all can feel welcome. It’s also a stage for our national companies and the best touring shows including comedy, drama, dance and music theatre. Sherman Theatre is your theatre.

For years, her tired daily routine has been dictated by the inescapable chime of the Clock Tower, until one night she feels time quicken. Suddenly an hour is lost – every day. As the hours disappear, long-held certainties evaporate and ordered society falls into disarray. With the townspeople in crisis, can Violet finally escape?
