‘We adopted four kids as a gay couple - and it was the most challenging thing I've been through'
Welsh playwright Daf James is bringing his own experience of adopting as a gay man to drama Lost Boys and Fairies – something he never imagined would happen when applying for a BBC writing programme five years ago.The writer, who began his career putting on Welsh-language plays and performing as his alter ego Sue, was accepted into the BBC Drama Writers Programme in 2019. He began developing what would become Lost Boys and Fairies after being paired with various production companies. “It was a bit like TV speed-dating, it changed my life,” he says.
