Dylan Thomas Theatre

The theatre group began performances from 1924 and was based at various different locations during its early years.

In the early 1930s, the poet Dylan Thomas became a member of the troupe after first reviewing plays by the Little Theatre for the South Wales Evening Post.

[2][3] In 1932, he appeared with the group for a production of Noël Coward's Hay Fever, taking the role of Simon.

A local critic wrote that Thomas was "an artist with an explosive temper and untidy habits".

[3] The group maintained its link with Thomas' family when his daughter, Aeronwy Thomas-Ellis, became president of the theatre.
