Wales was invented by the Welsh because they desired a Wales. Wales once had its own political autonomy but this was relinquished in 1536. Perhaps it is only an idea felt by all who feel their Welshness. But if we feel it subjectively, then it may be that when someone talks about Wales they may only be talking about themselves. A future for Wales can only be achieved by re-claiming the past but, as we all know, re claiming a past isn't easy.
Memory is a fickle thing.
Sometimes the things we often remember are things we'd rather forget, yet by forgetting we endanger the very process that may secure a future. Edward Thomas' plays House of America, Flowers of the Dead Red Sea and East from the Gantry have been published by Seren Books as a trilogy. Methuen Books has published East from the Gantry as part of an anthology of contemporary theatre works. University of Wales Press has published The Myth of Michael Roderick and Adar Heb Adenydd. East from the Gantry has been translated into Catalan and published and performed in Barcelona and published in Berlin in German.
