Starring Simon Nehan as Carwyn JamesCarwyn is a brand-new play about the life of Carwyn James.

Written by Owen Thomas, the award-winning writer of Grav, the play explores the life of a man who made an incredible, indelible impact on his homeland.

A man who adored sport, culture, politics, and Wales, Carwyn James had a career that comprised everything from teaching and broadcasting to coaching and espionage. To this day he remains the only Coach to mastermind a series victory for the British Lions against the All Blacks.

Carwyn will attempt to unravel the enigma of a multi-layered man. A man ahead of his time. A man who was alone in a crowd. A man uncomfortable in his own skin.

Directed by Gareth John Bale (star of Grav) and with Simon Nehan as Carwyn James, this play looks at the dramatic life of a Welsh cultural icon who left the field far too soon.
