Beriah Gwynfe Evans (12 February 1848 – 4 November 1927)[1] was a journalist, Congregationalist, dramatist, Liberal politician and Welsh Nationalist.

Born at Nant-y-glo, near Ebbw Vale in Monmouthshire, Evans was educated at the Beaufort British School and became a teacher at Gwynfe and Llangadog, Carmarthenshire.

As a playwright, Evans helped to introduce a sceptical Nonconformity to contemporary drama with a patriotic play, Owain Glyndŵr, performed at the Llanberis Eisteddfod of 1879.

[2] In 1880, Evans established the monthly magazine Cyfail yr Aelwyd, and in 1887 gave up teaching for a career in journalism, joining the staff of the South Wales Daily News in Cardiff.

In 1892, he moved to Caernarfon as Managing Editor of the Welsh National Press Co., publishers of Y Genedl Gymreig, The North Wales Observer and other papers.
