Bob Kingdom's tour de force performance recreates Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' last great American lecture tour en route to the White Horse Tavern. The stage is alive with characters, all of them tumbling out of richly descriptive prose as Kingdom blends stories and poetry and journeys through the poet's youth, his turbulent homecomings, through the natural world, to the one that lies after with a constant undertone of dark comedy. Featuring the poems 'Fern Hill', 'Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night', 'Poem in October', 'And death shall have no dominion', plus the broadcast 'Return Journey', the electrifying presence of Dylan Thomas is tangibly felt in Kingdom's heartfelt portrayal. This critically acclaimed production, directed by Sir Anthony Hopkins, has been seen throughout the world to packed audiences including two sell out London seasons. "Dylan Thomas: Return Journey" is set to visit venues in Wicklow, Omagh, Wexford, and Navan. See our theatre listings for more details
