‘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 weekend, 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. Born in Wales, he qualifies as a Welsh man, but he has also sampled the civilized world, living in England, France, Germany and Switzerland.
You should hear his stories.
In fact, you should buy them.
You really should.’
Wizened but lively Welsh National Theatre activist
