~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thomas, the expatriate Welshman, gives his views:  . . . a piece, a play, an impression for voices, an entertainment out of the darkness, of the town I live in, (written) simply and warmly and comically with lots of movement and varieties of moods, so that, at many levels, through sight and speech, description and dialogue, evocation and parody, you come to know the town as an inhabitant of it.

If only for one moment the Western world could drop the veils that, ever since the Reformation, have clung around it like the films of a disease, and look, with lightened eyes, upon the cess it has created, on the greatness it has split and strangled, on the starvation it has fostered, on the perversions and ignorances it has taught, then it would die for shame.  And we, who have not been long enough alive to be corrupted utterly, could build out of its manuring bones the base of an equal and sensible civilization.
