Meredydd Barker’s play
introduces us to the power couple
of their day, NHS Founder Aneurin
Bevan (Nye) and the First Arts
Minister Jennie Lee.
We meet the people behind the
public images of the partnership
that became one of the
outstanding political marriages of
the twentieth century.
Following their life from flatmates,
their marriage in 1934, to Nye’s
death in 1960 marking notable
events in their public and private
life along the way including
preparation for the biggest
moments in their careers such as
the launch of the National Health
Service which celebrates its 70th
Anniversary in 2018.
Roedd Aneurin Bevan a Jennie Lee yn
gymrodyr, wedi rhannu fflat, ac wedi eiriol
a brwydro dros sosialaeth; ef o Dredegar,
ac yn un o feincwyr cefn penboeth y Blaid
Lafur, a hithau’n ferch i lowr o Fife, ac yn AS
Sosialaidd cyn bod yn ddigon hen i bleidleisio.
Wedyn, bu priodas; ef mewn cariad angerddol,
a hithau’n ceisio dygymod a charwriaeth arall
oedd newydd ddod i ben. Ill dau’n cael eu
caru a’u casau gan eu cyd-aelodau seneddol;
ef oedd y ‘Bollinger Bolshevik’; hithau ei
Arglwyddes Macbeth, yr angel dywyll ar
ei ysgwydd. Datblygodd eu perthynas
yn ystod blynyddoedd didostur y rhyfel,
drwy anawsterau sefydlu’r GIG, gelyniaeth
fileinig y 1950au, gyda’u cariad yn
aeddfedu a dyfnhau. Dyma stori am
bartneriaeth unigryw - un o briodasau
gwleidyddol mwyaf eithriadol yr
ugeinfed ganrif.
