is based on the short story by the poet Dylan Thomas. This particular version
was commissioned by the Great Lakes Theatre Festival and was adapted by Jeremy
Brooks and Adrian Mitchell. The play begins with Dylan waking up on Christmas
morning and follows his adventures through one perfect Christmas day in
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Wales</st1:place></st1:country-region> in the 1930’s. There’s dinner
with the aunts and uncles and cousins, playing out of doors, telling ghost
stories, and singing songs. This was also the year that Mom burned the turkey,
and the fire brigade arrived, put it out, and then stayed for a drink. Filled
with music of the season, the play is a perfect holiday outing for the whole
family.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></STRONG></FONT></P>
