About the Play
Finding himself in unaccustomed circumstances, poet Dylan Thomas reviews a life as deeply steeped in whisky as in the intoxicating power of words. Summoning memories of his childhood in Wales, his many amorous encounters and his one true love, Thomas measures his talent against that of the greatest writer of them all: William Shakespeare.
". . . remarkable actor Geraint Wyn Davies, who doesn't just portray the man, he lives and breathes him."
"A sly smile, a twinkly eye and a rich, plummy voice are prerequisites for playing the perpetually rumpled Thomas, and Davies has them all."
Michael Kuchwara, AP Drama Critic
A feast of gorgeous language, this one-man tour-de-force paints an intimate portrait of an artist whose ribaldry and wry wit do nothing to disguise the depths of his passion. Content Advisory Suitable for teens and up. Mature content includes discussion of sexuality and death. The sole character smokes on stage and consumes liberal amounts of alcohol.
