Dylan Thomas: Return Journey is a solo theatre performance by Bob Kingdom, originally directed by Anthony Hopkins. The production is presented by Richard Jordan Productions in association with Pleasance at the Attic venue. Kingdom's performance has been described as a passionate and unpretentious personification of Dylan Thomas, in which the two personalities seem at times to merge. Running 65 minutes and suitable for ages 12 and over, the show blends poetry and storytelling in a lyrical journey through the life and work of the Welsh poet.
Why see this show?
Bob Kingdom's embodiment of Dylan Thomas is something quite particular — less impersonation than inhabitation. For anyone who loves Thomas's poetry or is curious about him, this is an intimate and memorable way to encounter both the man and his words.
