Dylan Thomas: Return Journey

This critically acclaimed portrayal embraces the myth of the tortured artist and a life distinguished by exuberantly successful highs and pathetically undignified lows.

Playing a man who wrestled with the psychological conflict between creative talent and self-destructive impulse, Bob Kingdom's remarkable portrait of Dylan Thomas offers a chance to experience the electrifying presence of Dylan Thomas’ last great lecture tour en route to the White Horse Tavern.

Blending the stories and the poetry with incisive comments on the nature of performing the American touring circuit, the audience is taken from Wales, past and present to the one that lies after. Anthony Hopkins' minimalist original direction brings performer and audience together in appreciation of the beauty, the humour, the passion and wit of the words of this infamous writer.
