  • Huge congratulations to our Artistic Director Joe Murphy and Chief Executive Julia Barry on their inclusion in The Stage 100 list of the most influential people in the theatre industry. Llongyfarchiadau i’n Cyfarwyddwr Artistig Joe Murphy a’n Prif Weithredwr Julia Barry am gael eu cynnwys yn rhestr The Stage 100 o’r bobl fwyaf dylanwadol yn y diwydiant theatr. Dywedodd The Stage / said  ‘Buoyed by a slam-dunk 50th year in 2023, the Sherman continued to impress in 2024, offering five original plays plus a Welsh-language Iphigenia in Splott. Its commitment to staging fearless new writing was best demonstrated by Odyssey ’84, a Homeric exploration of the miners’ strike, and The Women of Llanrumney, a blistering interrogation of Wales’ role in slavery, which was born from the Sherman’s Unheard Voices programme for under-represented playwrights and earned Azuka Oforka a gong at The Stage Debut Awards. The Sherman also received a Sky Arts theatre award nomination.’ Photo: Llun Alex Brenner
