Dyled Eileen

T01973359537
Dyled Eileen portrays Eileen and Trefor Beasley's protest against their local authority in the 1950s to have their tax bill in Welsh. During their eight year struggle, they refused to pay their debt to the then ?Rural District Council of Llanelli', and as a result, watched the bailiffs carry away nearly all their possessions bit by bit. Angharad Tomos' heartfelt script brings to life this passionate, yet humble and very personal story - that served as a revolutionary example in Saunders Lewis' famous radio lecture of 1962, ?The Fate of the Language' - and takes us on a journey to remember the sacrifice that this young couple made in their fight for fairness for the Welsh language.
