This new play about writer Rhys Davies sees writer/director D.J. Britton join forces with BAFTA-winning actor Richard Elfyn, following their success in 2012 with The Wizard the Goat and the Man Who Won the War, along with Welsh favourite Eiry Thomas. The high-energy play is set in the late 1960s and looks at a pivotal point in the friendship between Rhys Davies and novelist Anna Kavan, both of whom are living a life of self-invention, in which secrets, sexuality and deep questions of personal identity lurk constantly in the shadows.

The premiere, on the Friday night, forms part of the Rhys Davies Short Story Conference. This three-day event will include talks and workshops from an impressive line-up including Edna O’Brien, Will Self, Tessa Hadley, Janice Galloway, Meic Stephens, Dai Smith, Claire Keegan,Cynan Jones, Rachel Trezise, Shena Mackay, Jon Gower and more.
