The autumn season at Theatr Mwldan begins with a dramatic and comical adaptation of The Canterbury Tales, and the venue has much more to keep audiences entertained as the nights start drawing in.

The great medieval epic takes place tonight (Friday) and on Saturday, October 3rd and 4th, and promises to be a light hearted, joyous and slightly naughty theatrical outing.

Mappa Mundi, a company based in Wales, has built up an enthusiastic following for its entertaining and accessible adaptations of classic works.

Like Chaucer, Mappa Mundi knows people love hearing a good story, and the company certainly knows how to tell one.

Directed by Richard Nichols, Mappa Mundi’s Canterbury Tales is a joyous production, full of earthy humour, and an entertaining evening is promised for all. Due to its bawdy nature, this production is suitable for people aged 12 and over. Tickets cost £12 (£10 concessions).

The Theatr Mwldan Film Society is screening Garbage Warrior (15) on Sunday, October 5th. The film is an interesting and timely documentary profiling the unorthodox architect, eco-warrior and founder of Earthship Biotecture, Michael Reynolds. Since the late 1970s, the wild-haired 60-year-old has been setting up communities of increasing size in remote New Mexico locations, based on his experimental, self-sufficient houses.

His 1972 Thumb House pioneered his use of rubbish such as old glass and plastic, tin cans and earth-filled tyres, and enclosed sewage, water and heat collection systems.

Since then, his radical ideas on sustainable living and idiosyncratic DIY dwellings have brought him into dispute with American state and national planning and legal institutions.

Film society screenings are open to everyone. For further information go to the society’s website www.tmfilmsoc.org.uk.

On Monday, October 6th, it is time to get the dancing shoes on for the last chance to see Billy Cobham and Asere perform their exhilarating live act in Cardigan.

Billy Cobham’s trademark is big, fast and powerful drumming, combining rhythmic dexterity with sensitivity and subtlety.

His long and distinguished musical career began playing with Miles Davis at the age of 19 and includes collaborations with a who’s who of modern music – George Benson, Jack Bruce, Peter Gabriel, Count Basie, Oscar Peterson and John McLaughlin, to name but a few.

Groundbreaking seven-piece Asere represent young, urban Cuba, while remaining deeply respectful of their heritage.

While they have a profound, acoustic and unmistakably Cuban sound, they also celebrate their cultural brotherhood with people from across the Caribbean basin – including Billy, who was born in Panama.

Tickets cost £15 (£14 concessions).

Anglo-Australian trio Kerr Fagan Harbron and string quartet, Methera, perform a one-off double bill concert on Thursday, October 9th.

Both fit perfectly into the contemporary folk idiom, combining a deep knowledge and respect for tradition with a confidence and maturity that allows them to successfully explore and experiment within the genre. This is intelligent, fresh and timeless music for all generations.

Their inspirational and timeless re-workings of traditional music are not to be missed. Tickets are £12 (£10 concession). To book tickets for any of the events or for more details call Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200 or visit www.mwldan.co.uk.
