Canolbwyntiwn yn y bennod hon ar yr actorion a oedd yn perfformio mewn anterliwtiau, gan graffu ar nifer o destunau llenyddol sy’n taflu goleuni ar eu gwaith a’u hunaniaeth. Yn debyg i gwmni drama heddiw, roedd cwmni anterliwt yn y ddeunawfed ganrif yn teithio o le i le ac yn llwyfannu perfformiadau mewn nifer o wahanol gymunedau. Dengys y dystiolaeth mai ‘llanciau’ oedd yr actorion hyn, dynion ifainc a gefnodd ar eu swyddi arferol dros dro er mwyn ‘canlyn anterliwt’. Awgrymwn fod yr anterliwt yn faes ffrwythlon i’r sawl sydd am astudio seiliau materol diwylliant Cymraeg y cyfnod. Awgrymwn ei fod yn faes ffrwythlon ar gyfer dadansoddiadau anthropolegol hefyd. * ‘Talented men following a play’: The Anterliwt (part 2) We concentrate in this episode on the actors who performed in anterliwtiau, examining a number of different literary texts which throw light on their work and their identity. Like a theatre company today, an anterliwt company in the eighteenth century travelled from place to place and staged performances in different communities. The evidence shows that these actors were ‘lads’, young men who left their normal jobs temporarily in order to ‘follow an anterliwt’. We suggest that the anterliwt is a fruitful field for those who want to study the material foundations of Welsh culture in the period. We also suggest that it’s a fruitful field for anthropological interpretations.
