About the book
The last few years have seen an explosion of new Welsh writing for the stage. With the advent of Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru in 2003 and the launch of National Theatre Wales in 2009, there has been a tectonic shift in Welsh theatre and its perception. Wales has celebrated its poets and novelists, but in the 21st century, it is the playwright who is asking the crucial questions. In particular, what does it mean to be Welsh in the 21st century? This collection of contemporary Welsh plays is the first to officially recognise this 'new wave' of Welsh playwrights, ranging from established, award-winning writers to those on the cusp of national recognition. It showcases a wide range of forms, themes and political concerns, as well as representing the most exciting voices at the forefront of Welsh drama. By taking the temperature on the first golden age of Welsh playwriting, this volume is the first collection in this new Welsh canon.
