First

by Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama |
synopsis:
This one-woman show is about the life of Caitlin Thomas, wife of the Welsh legend Dylan Thomas. Performed on the 50th anniversary of Dylan Thomas' death, this is one of two shows coming from Wales about the life of Caitlin, the other being the Sherman Theatre Company's 'Caitlin' - first performed in June 2003 to great commendation.
This deeply affectionate piece portrays the huge difficulties in their stormy marriage, displaying their lifes from young and youthful to old and bitter.
Caitlin Thomas was an alcoholic who, after the death of her husband in 1953, turned to writing about her life and marriage to Dylan Thomas. Her alcoholism grew with the desperation of her writing until she met her second husband, Giuseppe Fazio. This moving story is portrayed in Bowen's writing.
Phil Bowen, the writer and director of this production, has previously written 'A Handful of Rain', a production which imagines a meeting between Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas.
Angela Colderick, who plays Caitlin, has previously appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe in 'Shiva - Abuse of a Young Woman', a highly successful show about abusive relationships.
