Gwenlyn Parry was one of the most important Welsh-language
playwrights of the twentieth century and played a key role in the
popularisation and flourishing of drama in the theatre and on
television during the 1970s and 1980s. Parry's major stage plays -
Saer Doliau, Ty ar y Tywod, Y Ffin and Y Twr - had a substantial
impact, and were instrumental in solidifying a new relationship
between drama and theatrical production in Welsh, bringing the
theatricality of the Absurd to a popular audience for the first
time. His plays have been the subject of much critical attention in
Welsh, and have been reinterpreted in production on many occasions,
both in their original form and in translation. This study is the
first extended treatment of his life and work in English, and
examines the complex and occasionally paradoxical relationship
between the autobiographical aspects of his writing and his use of
theatrical form.
