A Child’s Christmas in Wales

Written by Dylan Thomas | Performed by Guy Masterson

Guy Masterson, globally acclaimed for his solo version of UNDER MILK WOOD (last seen at Old Laundry in 2022) reveals the magic of Dylan Thomas’ oft-overshadowed yet equally brilliant short stories in a performance “of staggering energy and invention” (The Scotsman) conjuring the romantic lyricism and genius wordplay that made Dylan Thomas one the greatest writers of the 20th Century.

Centred around Dylan’s seasonal masterpiece A CHILD’S CHRISTMAS IN WALES, Masterson also gives us two other magical short stories told through the eyes of a young boy: the enchanting A VISIT TO GRANDPA’S, and a visit to the beach in August; HOLIDAY MEMORY…
Masterson’s command of Thomas’ wordplay is remarkable – akin to his uncle Richard Burton – and his ability to spin Thomas’ yarns as though they are his own, is breathtaking…

Masterson won The Stage Award for Best Actor at the Edinburgh Festival in 2001 for this performance. Come and experience the richness and magic of the English language at its finest!
