In England and America Dylan Thomas made his art and personality widely known through public readings, radio broadcasts and recordings. Many of the 25 short stories, autobiographical sketches and essays in Quite Early One Morning, a volume planned by Thomas shortly before his death, were read by him on such occasions.

Nel novembre del 1953, quando fu ricoverato con urgenza al Roman Catholic Hospital, Dylan Thomas era in preda a un attacco di delirium tremens probabilmente scatenato dai diciotto whisky tracannati poco prima. Non si salvò, e concluse così la sua esistenza da "poeta maledetto". L'ultimo, forse. Il suo straordinario carisma, unito a un talento creativo notevolissimo, contribuì a creare un mito che già all'epoca ebbe uno straordinario impatto me...

As a rule, a good novel does not always make a good play--especially a novel as unconventional as this one by Dylan Thomas. But Andrew Sinclair's brilliant adaptation of Adventures in the Skin Trade is the exception. This is the story of young Samuel Bennet--a not entirely innocent provincial--who leaves his Welsh home to let adventure find him in London. Sam is soon deeply involved--all the while with his finger stuck fast in an ale bottle--w...
