The story
In Gary Owen's historical play, Owain Glyndŵr is declared an outlaw by Henry IV in 1400. Rather than accept his fate, Owain leads a rebellion that spreads beyond his own territory and challenges the king's hold on power. The two men are drawn into opposing struggles: Owain fights for his people's future, while Henry tries to defend his crown.
In the room
The play treats a political confrontation as a historical epic, with poetic language alongside the conflict between ruler and rebel. Questions of nationhood and authority sit beneath the struggle for survival.
Good fit if you like
Welsh history, rebellion, political rivalry and poetry in historical drama.
