Dylan Thomas Day!

Thursday: Dylan Thomas Day. We're DELIGHTED to be hosting the first ever Dylan Day celebrations in London.  We've got a few great events coming up in Fitzrovia and Soho NEXT WEEK that should be tons of literary fun for everyone. And thanks to Literature Wales, the first 20 tickets to each event are FREE.  Click Here to enter for FREE TICKETS. MAY 14 Dylan's Literary Pub Crawls. Join us at 1pm, 3pm and 6pmfor our Literary Pub Crawl of Dylan's Fitzrovia haunts.  And meet his contemporary writers, Gerorge Orwell, Anthony Burgess, TS Eliot and others.   An Evening at The Wheatsheaf Pub, Rathbone Place, London, W1. 8pm Dylan's Day is a celebration of Dylan Thomas.  14 May has been chosen because marks the day Under Milk Wood was first read in public. We hope you can join us for what will be a memorable night. As you know, we produced Under Milk Wood on the 60th anniversary of Dylan's death and we were involved in Griff Rhys Jones' Dylan Thomas in Fitzrovia Festival, so I feel very close to the Welsh Wizzard!  We're planning music, poetry and a rehearsed reading of a potential new play by... er...me!  It's provisionally called 'The Roaring Boy' and is an homage to UMW and a personal take on Dylan.  I'm actually still writing it and sending bits through to director Katie Merritt, so it will definitely be a rehearsed reading. And Hannah Ellis, Dylans Granddaughter is coming to the Wheatsheaf too, along with a few other Dylan luminaries.  So no pressure then... I hope you'll take advantage of our free tickets and I'd like to thank Literature Wales for making this possible.  The Wheatsheaf is where Dylan Thomas met Caitlin, his wife, so is a special venue. And the pub is stocking Welsh beer for the week. Follow us on Twitter - including my bumblings - at @mavericktheatre. I hope you can join us on Thursday. Ticket are available on line from £5.  If you don't win a free 'un, of course. Best wishes Nick Hennegan Artistic Directo
