THEATR FELINFACH’S new drama group for adults, Theatr Fel1, will present their first production, Dylan and Jim, this July.
The group meets every fortnight at Theatr Felinfach to develop their drama skills and create new productions. Recently, they have been working on a brand-new radio drama that offers a playful exploration of Dylan Thomas’ work, imagining conversations between the poet and T. James Jones (Jim Parc Nest).
Sioned, Senior Creative Officer at Theatr Felinfach, said: “We are eagerly looking forward to the premiere of Theatr Fel1.
“Dylan and Jim is performed live in the style of a radio drama and plays with the idea of conversations that might have taken place if Jim Parc Nest had had the opportunity to meet Dylan Thomas.
“Members have enjoyed the opportunity to step into the shoes of many of Dylan Thomas’ memorable characters, particularly from Under Milk Wood.”
Dwynwen Lloyd Llywelyn, Head of Theatr Felinfach and the scriptwriter, added: “Jim Parc Nest has spoken a lot about the connections and coincidences between his family and the family of Dylan Thomas, although they never met.
“The play celebrates Dylan Thomas’ work in a distinctly Welsh way while remaining faithful to the original.”
Dylan Thomas spent time in Ceredigion, and the area played a role in inspiring his creative work.
Sioned added: “We’re very excited to share this unique experience with audiences.”
