David Thomas Davies (1876–1962) was a Welsh dramatist. He was son of Thomas and Martha Davies. He received education at Gelli School, Ystrad, Rhondda Valley, and at Thomas James's School, Llandysul, Cardiganshire, before moving to study at the University College of Wales in Aberystwyth. His father had hoped that he would enter the ministry, but, on graduating in 1903, he decided to enter the teaching profession, and accepted a post at the Central Foundation School in London. There he became familiar with popular and contemporary English plays, and joined the new generation of Welsh dramatists such as Robert Griffith Berry, William John Gruffydd, and J.O. Francis.
