“My early work came out of a personwho came willy-nilly out of oneparticular atmosphere and environmentand are part and parcel, park and castle,lark and sea shell, dark and school bell,muck and entrail, cock, rock and bubble,accent and sea-lap, root and rhythm ofthem” Dylan ThomasCLOWN IN THE MOON (the title of apoem written when Dylan was 14) is adramatic portrait of the poet's chaotic,frequently hilarious, and all too brief life.Located in a BBC studio, it sets some of

Dylan's famous broadcasts and iconicworks alongside vivid reminiscences ofhis clownish antics in pubs, bars andparties, and his encounters with a host ofeccentric and volatile women.

Directed by Gareth Armstrong (Shylock) Written by Gwynne Edwards (Burton) – Rhodri Miles (Eastern Promises, Atlantis,Game of Thrones) returns to the stage toplay Dylan Thomas - after his recentacclaimed tour of the award winning show“Burton”.
