CAITLIN - Light, Ladd & Emberton
Caitlin was the wife of poet Dylan Thomas. At the start of the 70s, 20 years after he died, she started going to Alcoholics Anonymous. In a circle of 40 chairs, set out for an AA meeting Caitlin makes a determined effort to deal with her tempestuous past. The audience of 20 sits with Caitlin in the circle as she revisits her life with Dylan.
The unoccupied chairs become part of the action in this physical and powerful duet.
CAITLIN was commissioned by the National Library of Wales as part of this year's centenary celebration of Dylan Thomas’ birth.

Gwraig y bardd Dylan Thomas oedd Caitlin Thomas. Dechreuodd fynychu cyfarfodydd Alcoholigion Anhysbys ddechrau’r saithdegau, ugain mlynedd wedi i’w gŵr farw. LLwyfennir y ddeuawd ddawns gignoeth hon y tu mewn i gylch o 40 gadeiriau, wedi eu gosod ar gyfer cyfarfod AA dychmygol. Eistedda’r gynulleidfa o ugain gyda’r perfformwyr yn y cylch. Mae gan y seddi gweigion eu rhan hefyd…
Comisiwn gan Lyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru oddi wrth Eddie Ladd yw CAITLIN. Mae’n rhan o’r gweithgareddau i ddathlu canmlwyddiant geni Dylan Thomas.

'Thank you for Caitlin...brilliant in every way!'
'Roller-coaster of humour & pathos, sexuality & innocence, violence & interdependency'
'Tender and brutal. I am still reeling. And have gone home to have a drink. Bloody hell, Caitlin was incredible. Must-see...'
