Synopsis: | play about Dylan Thomas' last days in America. Written and performed by Welsh poet Peter Read, 'Dylan's Last Journey' is a seventy minute drama based on his letters from America, charting the ultimate demise of the poet before his final date with destiny and the whisky bottle. The play recounts Thomas' increasing desperation as he tries to balance the need to write with the demands - and distractions - of a rapturous American public. The many conflicts which dogged Dylan Thomas throughout his life are explored: the dinner parties at which he entertained with his outrageous wit; his gregarious bonhomie; his despondent moments of self-doubt; and his own uncertainty in his love life, as the world premiere of Under Milk Wood approaches. Dylan constantly tortures himself with memories of Wales and an unending internal debate as to whether he should be an actor or a writer. The play culminates in his untimely death as he kills himself with a massive whisky binge. But it's not all gloom and Peter Read has managed to inject considerable humour into the script. "I think Dylan Thomas was a very funny man at times," he says " And I wanted to reflect that in the script." | |||||

Synopsis: | a one-man show, revolving entirely around the irreverent Reverend and his run-ins with the church council. Kevin Johns clearly loves the character, and Read has taken pains to include topics close to the performer's heart - not simply football and religion, but also a sub-plot about the plight of the homeless. | |||||
