Wedi ei ysbrydoli gan yr impresario pierrot, Will Catlin, a adeiladodd ‘The Arcadia’ yn Llandudno lle mae Venue Cymru wedi’i leoli heddiw a’r caffi wedi ei enwi ar ei ôl, mae Tony wedi bod yn gweithio gyda myfyrwyr hanes o Brifysgol Bangor i ymchwilio i hanes y gelfyddyd parti theatraidd pierrot yn Llandudno. Casglwyd deunyddiau ac atgofion o archifau, amgueddfeydd a phobl leol – yn cynnwys disgynyddion o deulu Will Catlin.
Mae’r deunyddiau wedi dod ynghyd ar y wefan hon a byddent hefyd yn ffurfio rhan o arddangosfa deithiol o baneli, ffilmiau a memorabilia, o’r enw ‘Seaside Follies’, a fydd yn ymweld â lleoliadau lleol dros y flwyddyn nesaf.
Cynhaliwyd cyfres o sgyrsiau cyhoeddus ar y pwnc gan Dr Lidington ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, Cymdeithas Hanesyddol Llandudno ac yn Venue Cymru.
