About
the Play: Dylan, who is acclaimed to be the
greatest poet of the 20th Century, was also an alcoholic. As a poet, he
achieved fame and, in his own words, will "come off better than any in a
thousand years." As an alcoholic, he destroyed himself. The
play shows the step-by-step destruction of the man, Dylan Thomas. But
where Dylan is, there "are no tears." His word to the
world..."it won't be dull." "Dylan" is an exercise in
illusion. Open staging, platforms with movable stairs representing
different places at different times, area lighting and special sound effects are
all designed to help place yourself with us in space and time.
Laugh...perhaps cry a little...but most of all...let your heart go out to the
man, Dylan Thomas. Poet extraordinaire...exquisitely sensitive...and an
alcoholic.
"Dylan" was produced through a special
arrangement with Samuel French, Incorporated.
