    KS3 More about his work Reading Text 4 – An extract adapted from Dylan Thomas The Actor by Heather Holt, pages 77-81.

Swansea Little Theatre celebrates its famous member every year with a performance of the play in the Dylan Thomas Theatre.

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.
