Inhaltsangabe
As a rule, a good novel does not always make a good play--especially a novel as unconventional as this one by Dylan Thomas. But Andrew Sinclair's brilliant adaptation of Adventures in the Skin Trade is the exception. This is the story of young Samuel Bennet--a not entirely innocent provincial--who leaves his Welsh home to let adventure find him in London. Sam is soon deeply involved--all the while with his finger stuck fast in an ale bottle--with a fantastic assortment of odd characters whom only Dylan Thomas could have conceived. What The Times Literary Supplement said about Adventures in the Skin Trade as a novel still applies to the play: "There is no doubt of Thomas's genius as a comic writer ... there are memorable images and phrases on every page." One reason is Andrew Sinclair's exceptionally skillful adaptation.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Dylan Thomas, born in Swansea in 1914, is perhaps Wales' best-known writer, widely considered to be one of the major poets of the 20th century: many of his greatest poems, such as "Fern Hill" and "'Do not go gentle into that good night"' are beloved and widely studied. As well as poetry, Dylan Thomas wrote numerous short stories and scripts for film and radio-none more popular than his radio play Under Milk Wood. He led a fascinating and tempestuous life, which ended all too soon in 1953 when he collapsed and died in New York City shortly after his 39th birthday.
