A script for the play in author John Gwilym Jones’s collection indicates rehearsals and recording (at Penrhyn hall) for the BBC in 1962. It is uncertain if this is a connected or distinct production. The director is named as Emyr Humphreys. No other records confirm such a recording, though Humphreys did participate in a late night Welsh-language discussion in modern drama in December 1962: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/68dfa22d2d7f44e98a0a10a413b78958
