'The man's an outlaw. A poacher. A thief. A criminal. A villain. A thug. What else? Now, tell me, tell me one thing about John Jones that paints a different picture.'
1913. War is on the horizon. In a dark, dingy pub, standing on a tabletop, soaked in beer, John Jones holds the crowd in the palm of his hand with stories of mischief and misdemeanours.
But when his son falls for the daughter of the local landowner, trouble isn't far behind…
Based on the exploits of notorious jailbreaker, poacher and thief, Coch Bach y Bala, The Red Rogue of Bala is a hilarious, fast-paced comedy about power, community and myth.
Chris Ashworth-Bennion's play was first performed at Theatr Clwyd, Mold, in 2025, directed by Dan Jones.
