A pleasure and a privilege to premiere two plays by Rhys - As a Man Grows Colder and The Modesty Men - at #swanseaartsweekend.
Two of my plays are going to be performed in Volcano Theatre @volcanotheatre.bsky.social in Swansea on Saturday.
All my plays so far are one-act absurdist comedies. But I will soon attempt to write a full-length play :-) #theatre
