Quite enjoying writing the talk on Dylan Thomas, a while since I’ve listened to a lot of the work. Looks like I may have a well known proper actor from the company, Owen Teale from Game of Thrones off of the tellybox, andf 1st Voice from the current tour doing readings, but it does mean I’ve just learned the first page of the play for nothing. Bugger. So it doesn’t go totally to waste, here it is (the bit I learned, not my talk). Click here to hear a recording of me trying not to sound like Richard Burton. Bit of a pause on the book research while I concentrate on this and my pesky dayjob.

Slight sidebar and break from research. In the anniversary year of the play and it’s author, I’ve agreed to do a talk at Waterstone’s on Dylan Thomas’s ‘Under Milk Wood’ in a couple of weeks. Bright side, should be fun and looking forward to the play. Downside, its about 20 years since my academic research in the area so I need to remind myself what I’m talking about sharpish. Second upside, great excuse to listed to classic recordings of the play again, and remind myself why I fell in love with the voice of Thomas in the first place. Oh, and in book research, possible exciting links to Confederate President Jefferson Davis in the Square. Let’s see what that turns up.
