Before Dylan Thomas died at the tender age of 39, he and his wife Caitlin binged, boozed and brawled their way around the bars of Britain in the 1930's and 40's.  Caitlin and Dylan were great lovers, artists and bohemians mixing with other artists and writers of their day, spending all their time in pubs, living on tick, 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, in this one woman show, entirely from her perspective and reveals some shocking insights into their often mutually destructive relationship.

“He had his poetry. He was a poet. You will have heard of him. And Caitlin Macnamara? Chances are, if you’ve heard of me, it’s because I married him.”
