Double trouble for Deian a Loli
Announcing the two sets of Deian and Loli for the stage adaptation of the TV phenomenon.
Four young actors from North Wales have been named as the two pairs of mischievous twins who will perform in Deian and Loli: Y Ribidirew Olaf.
Jack Thomas-Humphreys from Tanygrisiau and Ifan Miners from Penisarwaun will share the role of Deian with Gweni Roberts from Llithfaen and Casi Williams from Brynteg sharing the role of Loli.
The two sets, Gweni and Jack and Casi and Ifan, will play the iconic twins alternately throughout the tour. They will appear on stage for the first time in April as part of a Welsh theatre tour.

They have no choice but to say the magic word - RIBIDIREW! - and freeze their parents as the twins go in search of the key thief.
