Dylan Thomas:
Clown in the Moon
Written by Gwynne Edwards
Directed by Gareth
Armstrong
Performed by Rhodri Miles
Clown in the Moon, (the title
of a poem written when
Dylan was 14), is a portrait of
the poet’s chaotic, frequently
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.

Hamlet
Richard Burton makes his
debut in the theatre that
bears his name and for one
night only! Marking the 50th
anniversary of Burton’s
acclaimed Hamlet on
Broadway and 30 years since
his untimely passing, the
Royal Welsh College pays
tribute to a Welsh Great by
presenting the first screening
in Wales of Sir John Gielgud’s
classic 1964 theatrical
production. Filmed during a
Broadway performance for
release in US cinemas, this is
a Hamlet acted in rehearsal
clothes, stripped of all
extraneous trappings with
Richard Burton at the very
height of his acting powers.
