On Friday 25 April at 7.30pm Rhodri Miles celebrates 100 years since the birth of Dylan Thomas with Dylan Thomas – Clown in the Moon at The Atkinson.

Clown in the Moon, the title of a poem written when Dylan was 14, is a portrait of the poet’s chaotic, often hilarious and all too brief life.

Located in a BBC studio it sets some of Dylan’s famous broadcasts and iconic works alongside vivid reminiscences of his clownish antics in pubs, bars and parties and his encounters with a host of eccentric and volatile women.

Written by the acclaimed Gwynne Edwards and directed by the award winning Gareth Armstrong, Rhodri Miles returns as Dylan as part of the year long Dylan 100 festival, after previous sell out performances of his critically acclaimed ‘Burton’,(also written by Gwynne Edwards) which won the’Best International show’ at the Hollywood fringe festival 2010.
