LA7 7AS Dylan Thomas’ wonderful short stories and poems are brought vividly to life in this enchanting, award winning show. Often overshadowed by his masterpiece, Under Milk Wood, world renowned solo performer Guy Masterson reveals the magic of Dylan Thomas’ “other” works in a performance “of staggering energy and invention” (The Scotsman) brilliantly conjuring the romantic lyricism and genius in wordplay that made Thomas one of the World’s greatest writers.
The programme includes three of Thomas’ wonderful short stories; A Visit To Grandpa’s, Holiday Memory and, of course, A Christmas Story (more popularly known as A Child’s Christmas In Wales), plus a selection of his greatest verse including Fern Hill, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night and And Death Shall Have No Dominion.
