Theatr Clwyd , known from 1998 until 2015 as Clwyd Theatr Cymru, is a regional arts centre located 1 mile from Mold, Flintshire, in north-east Wales. The complex contains five auditoria: The Anthony Hopkins Theatre The Emlyn Williams Theatre Studio 2 The Clwyd Room Cinema .The complex forms part of the County Civic Centre at Mold , being immediately adjacent to the Shire Hall . It was built at the instigation of the former Flintshire County Council before it was abolished in the local government reorganisation of 1974 and replaced by Clwyd County Council, and the complex was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1976 under the artistic direction of George Roman. Toby Robertson was the theatre's artistic director between 1985 and 1992. Robertson introduced several leading actors, including Vanessa Redgrave, Sir Michael Hordern and Timothy Dalton, to the theatre. Robertson was succeeded as artistic director by Helena Kaut-Howson, followed by Terry Hands from 1997 to 2015. Hands' successor, Tamara Harvey, was appointed in June 2015. HTV Wales had offices and a studio at the site from the late 1970s to the mid 1980s, but production was scaled back following the opening of the company's new studio complex at Culverhouse Cross in Cardiff. A small news operation remained in Mold until the late 1990s but closed when HTV moved its North Wales news operations to Colwyn Bay and Wrexham. The name of the complex was changed in 1998 to reflect the reorganisation of local government at that time which abolished Clwyd as a county and brought Flintshire back into existence, although defined by different borders from the original ones. However, in 2015 it reverted to its original name. Apart from hosting visiting theatre companies, Theatr Clwyd is home to Wales' major drama producing theatre company, under the artistic direction of Tamara Harvey, which stages their own productions throughout the year and also regularly performs on tour around Wales and the UK. Theatr Clwyd was famous for, among many other things, hosting the successful second stage performance of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
