Dylan Thomas – Return Journey

When actor Bob Kingdom appears on stage at Jimmy Tingle’s Off Broadway in Dylan Thomas – Return Journey, it will truly be a homecoming for the spirit of the legendary Welsh writer. Originally directed by another noted Welshman, Sir Anthony Hopkins, this production is part of a sixteen-city tour of the United States and Canada commemorating the 50th anniversary of Thomas’ death November 9, 1953.

While beloved in his tiny country of Wales, much of Thomas’ fame can be attributed to four exhaustive reading tours he made of the United States and Canada in the 1950s. It was in the US that Thomas enjoyed center stage in theatres and bars and earned not only a world-renowned reputation, but much needed money which he squandered until his death.
