Based on How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn

Synopsis

In early-1900s South Wales, minister David Griffith recalls the Morgan family as the coal mine tightens its grip on their valley. Union hopes divide Gwillym and his sons, while Angharad’s future is pulled between class and conscience. Griffith’s unspoken love for Angharad and the family’s struggles—strike, disaster, and the erosion of tradition—test faith and loyalty. Hymns, protests, and village rituals chart a community fighting to keep dignity and tenderness alive in the shadow of industry.

Trivia & History

An article that appeared in the New York Times on Nov. 25, 1966, stated that a revised version the show would be produced by the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco the following April. The revised script would be closer to the original script as it was "before pre-Broadway tinkering began." Gerald Freedman, who co-authored the book and directed the original Broadway production, would again direct, and Robert Weede was to star as Gwillym Morgan. As far as we can determine, the production was canceled.
