Before Dylan Thomas died at the tender age of 39, he and his wife Caitlin boozed, binged and brawled through the bars of Britain in the 1930’s and 40’s. Their marriage was stormy, passionate and explosive.

Caitlin tells their story, in her own brutally honest words, in this one woman show written by Mike Kenny, directed by Steven Elias and performed by Christine Kempell. 

Dylan and Caitlin 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 abandon her own unfulfilled ambitions as a dancer. Caitlin tells their story from her own perspective and reveals some shocking insights into their mutually destructive behaviour.

This is her story and she’s not afraid to tell it!
