Dedwydd Jones is a bloke who has lived for some time and is determined to continue this state of affairs, for a while at least. During his existence, he has seen things and done stuff, and, occasionally written about it. Some of his words have made it into books, plays, telly, and radio. This makes him dead chuffed. When people buy his books, he really gets excited. It means he can eat, and also, on a good week, drink. Dedwydd is proficient at rubbing up people the wrong way, but these are only useless parasites who suck the life force out of modern theatre and literature - particularly in Wales. this collection of plays, Sheer Agony! is a perfect illustration of this. Born in Wales, Dedwydd qualifies as a short Welsh man, but he has also sampled the civilized world, living long in England, France, Germany and Switzerland. You should read his plays. In fact, you should buy them. You really should!
