Show Information
You will have heard of Dylan Thomas, of course. But what do you really know about his wife? Before Dylan died in New York at the tender age of 39, he and his wife Caitlin Macnamara boozed, binged and brawled their way through the bars of Britain in the 1930’s and 40’s. Their marriage was stormy, passionate and explosive. Here she tells the true story, in her own brutally honest words, of her tempestuous life with Dylan, revealing some shocking insights into their mutually destructive relationship- and she doesn’t hold back.
Caitlin and Dylan were great lovers, artists and bohemians mixing with other artists and writers of their day, spending all their time in pubs, living on tick, doing scandalous things and being forgiven. Although Dylan had his tragic genius as an excuse for his behaviour, Caitlin feels that history judges her more harshly as a mother, married to the ‘Voice of God’ and having to put her own unfulfilled ambitions as a dancer on hold. This is the true story of the woman behind the man. “Dylan Thomas was a poet. You will have heard of him. And Caitlin Macnamara? Chances are, if you’ve heard of me, it’s because I married him"
