    KS3 More about his work Reading Text 4 – An extract adapted from Dylan Thomas The Actor by Heather Holt, pages 77-81. This text gives you the background to Under Milk Wood and its first performance in America in 1953. Under Milk Wood Thomas’s genius in writing for film and radio reached its fullest expression in ‘Under Milk Wood’, the play for voices. It has become one of the most performed plays this century. Swansea Little Theatre celebrates its famous member every year with a performance of the play in the Dylan Thomas Theatre. Every year it plays to packed houses and people are happy to see it over and over again. This is a play that everyone can enjoy. The names of the sixty characters together with their sayings have almost become household words in many different countries and in many different languages… How did the play come about? Dylan Thomas had been an enthusiastic amateur actor and an accomplished professional reader. He had undertaken many demanding roles and proved his dramatic power and flair. Not surprising then that in 1939, just five years after his time with Swansea Little Theatre, he took part in a farce* in Laugharne. Dylan and Caitlin had moved to Laugharne in 1937, shortly after their marriage. After taking part in the farce, Thomas declared: “What the people of Laugharne need is a play about themselves, a play in which they can act themselves.” Thomas discussed the idea over a period of more than ten years… On 20th October 1953, Thomas arrived in America for his final tour and the script for ‘Under Milk Wood’ was still not complete… He was due to perform the play with a cast.

  • Adventures in the Skin Trade
    MEDIA RELEASE Thursday 7 May 2015 SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE PRESENTS ADVENTURES IN THE SKIN TRADE “Dylan Thomas himself, without doubt, would have enjoyed this production immensely” Wales Arts Review “What Lucy Gough allows us to hear is the unmistakable voice of Dylan Thomas" Theatre in Wales Upon his premature death in 1953, Dylan Thomas left an unfinished novel. Adapted for the stage to celebrate the centenary of his birth, Adventures in the Skin Trade will expose youthful exploration and discovery in all its uncomfortable glory from 31 July – 2 August at the Sydney Opera House. Described by British Theatre Guide as the “darkly poetic rambling of a questing soul”, Adventures in the Skin Trade is a coming-of-age tale filled with promise, youthful eagerness, family, danger, the unknown, risk and awakening. Over 60 years since it was first published, this story of the formative years between childhood and adulthood are as relevant today as they were when first penned. Welsh poet Dylan Thomas was a prolific writer in his short 39-year life. Best known for his poem Do not go gentle into that good night and play Under Milk Wood, Thomas captured the fragility and patterns of life and death in his unique prose. His incomplete autobiographical novel follows the central character of Samuel Bennett, a young man embarking on a journey of self-discovery in London, much like the young, impressionable Thomas who first visited London in 1933 aged 19. Welsh youth Sam leaves home in search of adventure in London. Innocence and enthusiasm prove a dangerous mix as Sam encounters people and experiences that he is ill-prepared for and could never have foreseen.
