Britain's What's On Event Guide
Goosfest - CAITLIN - a play about the wife of poet Dylan Thomas
Dylan Thomas died when he was just 39. He and his wife Caitlin boozed, binged and brawled their way through the bars of Britain in the 1930’s and 40’s. Their marriage was stormy, passionate and explosive. Caitlin tells their story, in her own brutally honest words, in this one-woman show written by Mike Kenny, directed by Steve Elias and performed by Christine Kempell.
Caitlin and Dylan were great lovers, artists and bohemians, mixing with other artists and writers of their day, doing scandalous things and being forgiven. Although Dylan had his tragic genius as an excuse for his behaviour, Caitlin feels that history judges her more harshly as a mother, married to the ‘Voice of God’ and having to put her own unfulfilled ambitions as a dancer on hold. Caitlin tells their story from her perspective and reveals some shocking insights into their mutually destructive relationship.
This is a play about the wife of poet Dylan Thomas. Do stay and discuss the play afterwards over a drink.
Licenced bar (before & after the show) -
Note:Play lasts approximately 1 hour – no interval
