Down here in glittering Swansea we have enjoyed a whole year of celebrating Dylan Thomas's 100th birthday. There have been countless radio and television programmes, locally there have been many plays and recitals of his work - most of which were excellent. Inevitably we had to suffer blatant hangings on to Dylan's coat-tails where it can fairly be said that only the performers were blissfully ignorant of their mediocrity. But such is life!

I forget how many performances of 'Under Milk Wood' I saw, each one dealt with in a different way, all exceedingly enjoyable. 'The Little Cough' was performed as a piece of walking theatre at Rhossili and again, more conventionally, at the Little Theatre. The delightful book 'A Child's Christmas in Wales' is wonderful to read - out loud!
