  • International Dylan Thomas Day.
    Inspired by the centenary in 2014, to be a lasting legacy to Dylan Thomas, May 14th is the third year of celebration for International Dylan Thomas Day, and where better to be than at the Boathouse in Laugharne, where we are celebrating “The Power of the Poet”. During the day we will be screening a number of short films inspired by Dylan Thomas including “Do not go Mental” followed by a Q&A with creator Sean Carlsen, some of the propaganda films Dylan wrote during WWII and “ Love Somehow”, a tribute to Caitlin. There will also be readings in the garden of some of his most well-known work, all of which will honour one of Wales’ most inspirational writers.


    Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Dylan Thomas.
    Yn dilyn canmlwyddiant 2014, a gyda golwg ar sicrhau bod y cof am Dylan Thomas yn parhau, ar 14 Mai dethlir Diwrnod Rhyngwladol Dylan Thomas am y drydedd flwyddyn. Ble well i wneud hynny na’r ‘Boathouse’ yn Nhalacharn, lle rydym yn dathlu grym y bardd (The Power of the Poet). Yn ystod y dydd byddwn yn dangos nifer o ffilmiau byrion a ysbrydolwyd gan Dylan Thomas, gan gynnwys ‘Do not go Mental’ lle bydd sesiwn Holi ac Ateb i ddilyn gyda’r creawdwr Sean Carlsen, rhai o’r ffilmiau propaganda a ysgrifennodd Dylan yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd, a ‘Love Somehow’ sef teyrnged i Caitlin. Hefyd ceir darlleniadau yn yr ardd o rai o’i ddarnau mwyaf adnabyddus o waith, y byddant oll yn anrhydeddu un o awduron mwyaf ysbrydoledig Cymru.
