‘Our God is a big man: a tall man much higher than the highest chapel
in Wales and broader than the broadest chapel. For the promised day
that He comes to deliver us a sermon we shall have made a hole in the
roof and taken down a wall. Our God has a long, white beard, and he is
not unlike the Father Christmas of picture-books. Often he lies on his
stomach on Heaven’s floor, an eye at one of his myriads of peepholes,
watching that we keep his laws. Our God wears a frock coat, a starched
linen collar and black necktie, and a silk hat, and on the Sabbath he
preaches to the congregation of Heaven.’

David Caradoc Evans was a Welsh story writer, novelist and playwright. His first work of fiction was a series of short stories called My People, published in 1915. He wished to shock the Welsh out of their complacency and smugness by contrasting the pieties of non-conformist Christianity with the realities of poverty, meaness and hypocrisy he had personally experienced.
This early works was originally published in 1920 and is a fascinating novel of the period. Contents Include; I. Love and Hate. II. According to the Pattern. III. The Two Apostles. IV. Earthbred. V. For Better. VI. Treasure and Trouble. VII. Saint David and the Prophets. VIII. Joseph's House. IX. Like Brothers. X. A Widow Woman. XI. Unanswered Prayers. XII. Lost Treasure. XIII. Profit and Glory........ Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
In a chapel service in rural Wales, all is not what it seems . . . A stage adaptation of one of the most celebrated and controversial short-story collections in the history of Anglo-Welsh literature. Originally published in 1915, the searing stories of My People - darkly comic, poignant, with flashes of savagery - exposed the hypocrisy and avarice nestling side-by-side in a Nonconformist community in the rural West Wales of the early 1900s. First produced n the centenary year of the publication of the original collection, this radical reimagining makes us question whether the events depicted in these remarkable stories are consigned to the past, or can we discern uncomfortable parallels in our modern life? This programme text edition was published to coincide with the world premiere of the stage adaptation on 5 November 2015 at Clwyd Theatr Cymru, in a co-production with Invertigo Theatre.
