'A House of Leaves' A one-man show based on the life and work of Dafydd ap Gwilym - Wales's greatest poet (and lover!) "Fourteenth century poets were often performers who entertained and instructed, and I hope that 'A House of Leaves' and the two readings based on Dafydd's poetry will also entertain and instruct in a lively and vigorous manner. Dafydd ap Gwilym is a great writer, a major part of our cultural heritage, and his work should be better known, both because it helps us to understand the unique world of Welsh civilization and also because, like all art, it teaches us about ourselves and about our own world."

The show introduces one of the great figures of medieval culture in an accessible and enjoyable presentation which is lively, humorous, moving and challenging. It recreates in a modern style what might have been one of Dafydd's performances some 650 years ago, and it recaptures the vigour and the vitality of Dafydd's world. |
