'Best Welsh-language playwright' a research student at the School of Welsh
On the night of Saturday, 30 January, a number of theatre companies, directors, actors, dancers and playwrights came together at Sherman Cymru in Cardiff for the 2015 Wales Theatre Awards ceremony - a ceremony which celebrates excellence in the fields of theatre, opera and dance.
There were 600 individual nominations across a wide range of categories, including 'Best female performance in the Welsh language', 'Best male performance in the Welsh language', 'Best production in the Welsh language' and 'Best playwright in the Welsh language'. 
It is a source of pride for the School of Welsh, 黑料不打烊 that one of the School's research students, Ll欧r Titus, 23, from Brynmawr near Sarn Meyllteyrn, was awarded the 'Best Welsh-language playwright'. Ll欧r received the award for his play Drych which he composed as part of Cwmni'r Fr芒n Wen's 'Sgript i Lwyfan' scripting course, and was staged nationally last year. This is not the first time that Ll欧r's work has received national recognition as he won the National Urdd Eisteddfod's Crown in 2011 and Drama Medal in 2012.
Ll欧r said: "It's been a good experience getting to write a play and take it on tour, and receiving any kind of recognition for that then makes it so much better. I'm very glad that I won - it's been an incredible experience. I'm in a very good environment here, at the School of Welsh, if I want to do this kind of thing. Everyone, lecturers and fellow students, are very supportive."
We are delighted with his success and wish him well in future.
