Dylan
is a play written by Sidney Michaels based upon the life of the
great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. The play chronicles Dylan's tour
of America leading ultimately to his death at a young age. An exciting
episodic play, this piece illuminates the personal visions and tragedies
of this great poet and his wife Caitlin Thomas, former Irish dancer,
who simply loved Dylan beyond compare despite his alcoholism, numerous
affairs and a very volatile and violent relationship. If you enjoy
the poems of Dylan Thomas, you will love this biographical play.

Dylan
Thomas, one of the contemporary world's great poets, led a raucous,
debauched, drunken life setting out to accomplish his childhood
goal of being the world's drunkest man. This play is a reasonably
accurate biographical account of Dylan's two trips to the United
States. Based on Dylan Thomas in America by John Malcom Brinnin
and Leftover Life to Kill by Thomas' widow, Caitlin, both
characters in the play, the play is staged in multiple locations
forcing the use of a unit set. Filled with joie de vivre, Dylan
led a rich an textured life until his death at the age of 39.

Dramaturgical
Notes
by Jessica Holman, Sarah Moeller, Aubrey Ryan |
I
hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me, and my enquiry is
as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and
victory, down throw and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression.
--Dylan Marlais Thomas
|
|
At
the invitation and under the guidance of American poet John Malcolm
Brinnin, Dylan Thomas made four lecture tours across the United
States, during which he seduced the America public with his charismatic
personality. These tours ensured his international reputation as
a poet, but did not satisfy Dylan's needs, either emotionally or
financially. It was on the last of these tours that Dylan succumbed
to an alcohol-related illness.
Although
Dylan refers to writing poetry as a "magical accident,"
he spent years agonizing over his work, carefully choosing each
word and faithfully recopying each version of his pieces. In addition
to poetry, he also wrote several books of short stories, radio plays,
and a full-length play for voice, Under Milkwood. His work
is full of strong imagery, flowing language and addresses timeless
issues of the human experience: love, nature, death, and faith.
Today, Dylan is remembered as one of the greatest lyric poets of
all time.
