SENIOR CHOIR& ORCHESTRAAndy’s a normal teenager. He’s sixteen, he gets into

trouble at school and he wants some extra cash. His twinbrother and sister are lovable little puppets and his motherlives in a giant box. He doesn’t get on with his step-sisterMel and he doesn’t remember what his real dad looks like.Their house has a secret that nobody else knows – or ifthey do, they never talk about it. Social workers are sniffingaround, teachers are sticking their noses in and Nan isplaying her Playstation. Andy is a normal teenager. Right?

‘Hidden’ explores the reality of families living with addiction.

Llanc ifanc cyffredin yw Andy. Mae’n un ar bymthegmlwydd oed, mae’n mynd i helynt yn yr ysgol ac mae arnoeisiau ychydig o arian ychwanegol. Mae ei efaill a’i chwaeryn angylion bach annwyl ac mae ei fam yn byw mewn bocsenfawr. Nid yw’n cyd-dynnu a’i lyschwaer, Mel, ac nid yw’ncofio sut un yw ei dad go iawn. Mae gan eu cartrefgyfrinach na wyr neb arall amdani - neu os ydynt, nifyddant byth yn siarad amdani.
