A meditation on war memory and the nature of time Mametz inspired by the writings of David Jones and Llewelyn Wyn Griffith tells the story of the 38th Welsh Divisions attack on Mametz Wood during the Somme offensive of 1916. Set within the context of a contemporary battlefield tour and moving between the present day the 1950s and WWI the play transports an audience into the frontline trenches and the intimate fears hopes and loves of the young soldiers risked and gave their lives in their attempt to take the wood. The finest commemoration of the First World War centenary Ive seen todate this deserves a much longer life.
