The Welsh Theatre Company was a professional theatrical company that performed in English in Wales. The Welsh language section of the company was Cwmni Theatr Cymru and the two shared workshops and technical facilities until 1973. The Welsh Theatre Company was established in 1962 in Cardiff in Wales by the Welsh Arts Council; its first director was Warren Jenkins. The majority of the company's productions were performed in English. The company received some criticism for producing plays with English actors and Welsh actors who lived and mainly worked in England but who acted in Wales only when they couldn't find work in England instead of employing Welsh actors who were based in their native land. The company's touring productions included Molière's The Miser (1962); A Man for All Seasons (1962) with Philip Madoc as Thomas Cromwell; Period of Adjustment (1963) by Tennessee Williams; Jackie The Jumper (1965), Hamlet (1969) with Angharad Rees as Ophelia and House of Cowards by Dannie Abse. In 1970 the company intended to make the Prince of Wales Theatre, Cardiff its base, but the plan was abandoned.
