Mametz by Owen Sheers is one of a choice of six set plays on WJEC's A level Drama specification. WJEC, Wales' main qualifications and exams board, provides the opportunity for learners to study in English or Welsh. This dual edition therefore combines the original English-language play with the newly commissioned Welsh-language adaptation by Ceri Wyn Jones, one of Wales's most eminent poets.
