Owain & Henry

An epic story of power and survival.



In 1400, Owain Glyndwr, a forgotten lord of a small northern land, is declared an outlaw by King Henry IV. Rather than surrendering to his fate, Owain rises in rebellion. As the spark of his revolt spreads across the border, Henry finds himself struggling to keep the throne and the two men find themselves on opposite sides of history; one fighting for survival, the other for control.



Written by Olivier Award-winning Welsh playwright Gary Owen (Iphigenia in Splott), Owain & Henry is a historical epic charged with poetic power. This ambitious new play brings to life one of Wales' most defining

stories, where the fight for the existence of a nation hangs in the balance.
