Who owns the rain?
"What makes you think that we would willingly thirst to death, so that you can water the green lawns of surbiton? "
The forced damming of the Tryweryn river by the English city of Liverpool in the 1960's reawakened the desire for self-determination within the Welsh. Forty years on, it arguably led directly to devolution. In Water Wars, England invades Wales in order to appropriate its resources and in order to sustain its own ecology. Water Wars is an eco thriller with great relevance for communities of Wales both now and in the past.
Ian Rowlands is an internationally known playwright from Carmarthen. His plays include Marriage of Convenience , Troyanne, Love in Plastic, Blue Herron in the Womb, The Sin eaters, Glissando on an Empty Harp and Auroura Borealis.
