ACTOR Rhodri Miles is to appear at the Merlin Theatre in Frome in ‘Clown in the Moon’ on Saturday 30th June.
Rhodri Miles (Holby City, Torchwood, Richard II, Eastern Promises, Game of Thrones, Hinterland, Atlantis) returns as Dylan Thomas after his previous sell-out performances of the critically acclaimed Burton, winner of the ‘Best International Show Award’ at the Hollywood Fringe Theatre Festival in 2010.
‘Clown in the Moon’ (the title of a poem written when Dylan Thomas was 14) is a critically-acclaimed dramatic portrait of the poet’s chaotic, frequently hilarious, and all too brief life.
Located in a BBC studio, it sets some of Dylan’s famous broadcasts and iconic works alongside vivid reminiscences of his clownish antics in pubs, bars and parties, and his encounters with a host of eccentric and volatile women.
Directed by Gareth Armstrong (Shylock) and written by Gwynne Edwards (Burton). Recommended 12 plus, running time 80 minutes with interval.
