Dic Edwards is considered to be one of the foremost contemporary Welsh playwrights. He is seen as an inspiration by many internationally established writers. A series of over 30 letters have been published by Oberon Books from the major English dramatist Edward Bond, written to Dic Edwards. They are primarily concerned with the craft of writing for the theatre and take the work of Dic Edwards as their focus. Bond has also directed Edwards' work. His plays have been translated into a number of different languages, with a recent Catalan version of Over Milk Wood translated by Albert Mestres and published in Tarragona as Sobre El Bosc Lacti becoming an instant bestseller. Edwards is a member of the Writers' Guild and a multi-award-winning playwright. Through Bond, Edwards was introduced to the Royal Court Theatre which awarded Edwards a small grant from the Neville Blonde Fund to research a play about the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. The result of this research was the play Wittgenstein's Daughter produced at The Citizen's Theatre, Glasgow in 1993. In the previous year, The Citizens Theatre had produced Edwards' Casanova Undone. On both occasions, Edwards worked with the Goethe Award-winning director Robert David MacDonald. It was also at this time that Edwards' work began to be published by Oberon Books Ltd. London. Edwards is a British playwright and poet with more than 20 productions to his name. Born in Cardiff he has often found himself at odds with his Welsh background. This was never more in evidence than in 2002 when Welsh Nationalists took to the stage and conducted walk outs during the run of his play Franco's Bastard at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff. He was born in Cardiff and studied at St David's College, Lampeter, University of Wales, Cardiff and University of Wales, Aberystwyth. His plays include: Lola Brecht, Utah Blue, The Juniper Tree , Beggars New Clothes , Regan, The Fourth World, Antigone Now, The Free Wheelers, Vertigo, Kid, David, The Man Who Gave His Foot For Love, The Shakespeare Factory, Moon River/The Deal and Over Milk Wood which have been performed throughout the British Isles. He is also an academic who has taught both English and Creative Writing. His published academic work includes Practice of Writing and Theories of Creativity and Writing For The Stage. He teaches Creative Writing at The University of Wales, Lampeter. Solitude along with a second play The Pimp is published by Oberon under the collective title: Two Immorality Plays

| Charles Baudelaire was abig-pimpin' lyricist of nineteenth-century Paris, dropping couplets while hustlin' hoes - a Snoop Froggy Frogg, if you will. This being a man of sensitivity and standing, however, the relationship with his mulatto mistress was complicated, emotional and symbiotic. His living arrangement with Jeanne Duval inspired him to write sensual poetry and her to play the cosseted courtesan. 'I must live the paradox,' he exclaims; as a bourgeois with an inheritance to fritter on absinthe and poesy, the starving artist in the garret lark was always just an act. Until, that is, his mother finds out that he is living with a black prostitute ('how black?' she replies). Buckling under pressure from her meddling scaremongering solicitor (who is inspired by jealousy and the upholding ofa culture of 'double-entry bookkeeping'), she stops the inheritance from Charles' late father. | |||||
