A Play in One Act by A.G. Prys Jones.
An Incident in the Life of St. David.

The interior of a lonely hut in a wild forest.
Maldwyn has been treacherously overthrown by his enemies. He is badly wounded, but has managed to escape to this secret hiding place where he is awaiting succour. His sole companion in his flight is his daughter Melita. When the play opens Maldwyn is alone in the hut, and is lying upon a rough couch of bracken and skins. Melita has gone to find food. Maldwyn is expecting her return; and - though in considerable pain from his wound - is chanting slowly to himself in the gathering dusk.
