In so doing, it summed up the treatment often given to the tradition of English-language playwriting in Wales - sometimes ignored, sometimes disapproved of, rarely celebrated. This Anthology, the first in a series of three, brings together three plays from the beginnings of Welsh playwriting in English; Change by J. O.
