A SWANSEA University lecturer and dramatist has been shortlisted for a major writing award.

DJ Britton, who teaches on the university's creative writing MA, is in the running to pick up the Writer's Guild playwright award at the Theatre Critics of Wales Awards for his play based on the life of David Lloyd George.

The work, The Wizard, The Goat And The Man Who Won The War, was trialled at Swansea's Dylan Thomas centre before being launched at the Taliesin Arts Centre last year.

The one man show stars actor Richard Elfyn who is also nominated in the Best male performance in the English language category.

Swansea poet and writer, Nigel Jenkins, said: "This is quite simply the most intelligent, absorbing and moving piece of theatre I have seen for years, thanks to a superb script and an electrifying performance by Richard Elfyn who played not only Lloyd George but all the other characters — men, women and children; Welsh, English and French."
