| Lighthouse Theatre Company- Reminiscences of Childhood , Dylan Thomas Theatre Swansea , December 2, 2013 |
Reminiscences of Childhood adapted by Adrian Metcalfe and Jason McCreight from the works of Dylan Thomas Directed by Joe Harmston Dylan Thomas Theatre Swansea December 2nd Lighthouse Theatre returned to the Dylan Thomas Theatre in what is becoming an annual event in the build up to Christmas. Yet again, the company did not disappoint. Using a skilful adaptation of the prose and poetry of Dylan Thomas, Adrian Metcalfe performed an entertaining and a comprehensive study of Dylan's reminiscences of childhood. Metcalfe has the ability not only to portray a range of characters believably, including Mr Weasley, Thomas's Grandfather and cousin Gwilym, but also to make the poetry of Dylan Thomas crystal clear. The staging was minimal but highly effective and the evening was enhanced by the support of Sonia Beck who sang settings by George Martin and Elton John of some of Thomas's words with Rob Marshall at the piano. This evening had an enthusiastic audience buzzing as they left the theatre. It was a wonderful way to start the Christmas season |
