The saying "whose coat is that jacket?" is one of those Welsh-isms always sure to raise a smile. But it's also the title of a reworked play by Jack Llewellyn about to embark on a tour of Wales.
Jack is a founder of the Swansea-based company Frapetsus Productions, the team behind the rugby-themed play Bred In Heaven that proved popular wherever it was shown last year.
This latest production borrows a lot from the Welsh word hiraeth, which has no literal translation into English but is widely believed to mean ‘belonging’ or ‘a heartfelt longing for one’s homeland’. For Jack it marks a unique bond that Welsh people everywhere share.
It is the third outing for the play, which Jack wrote during his MA in acting at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in 2006, but has been redeveloped significantly after the success of Bred In Heaven.
Whose Coat Is That Jacket? is set in the small Carmarthenshire village of Trimsaran and focuses on life within a rugby-mad family and the tensions created when one of the sons marries an Englishwoman.
Jack stars in the show as Rhodri, the son with the English wife - who is played by Hollyoaks star Terri Dwyer.
Jack told me: "It takes a look at what makes life in a small Welsh town so typically Welsh but through the English eyes of the wife and focuses on the conflict and mishaps that occur within those family relationships.
"Because it was written so long ago I wanted to rework it, but wanted the message to still be the same. The wife doesn't understand the family's claustrophobic passion for rugby and feels quite isolated and her marriage is really put to the test.
"Unlike Bred In Heaven, which was more farcical, sort of like a Welsh Fawlty Towers, this play has a stronger story with darker elements and will leave people discussing the ending."
He said the aim of the play is to provoke thought about identity, tradition, family and compromise.

Jack set up Frapetsus, which is based at the Swansea Grand, in 2007 with the intention of attracting people to local theatre that had never been interested before.
And choosing to stage last year's production, Bred In Heaven, during the Rugby World Cup seems to have helped him in that aim.
"The producer Tom and I were real fans of the film Grand Slam and Tom knew the actor Sion Probert, who played Maldwyn Novello Pugh, so we were able to capitalise on people's interest in the World Cup and even had sell-out performances at various venues.
"It definitely helped raise the profile of the company and I realised we were achieving our aim when Ieuan Rhys, who starred in Grand Slam and is also in Whose Coat Is That Jacket?, told me how he was recognised in the post office by a woman.
"She said she had taken her husband to see Grand Slam and it was his first-ever trip to the theatre, but now he had brought back a brochure for the next season and was pointing out all the shows he would like to see – that made me feel we were reaching the right people."
Whose Coat Is That Jacket? opens at The Grand in Swansea on 17 September and embarks on a tour which includes dates in Cardigan, Colwyn Bay, Cwmbran, Newtown, Aberystwyth, Carmarthen and ends at the New Theatre in Cardiff from 2-6 October.
