Richmond Shakespeare presents A Child's Christmas in Wales December 2, 2012

Lyrical delight and humor prevail as Richmond Shakespeare presents A Child’s Christmas in Wales, a new adaptation of Dylan Thomas’s beloved seasonal work

Thursday-Sunday November 29 through December 23. Inspired by the Charlotte Moore version at the Irish Repertory Theatre in New York City, director Jan Powell and music director Andrew Hamm have teamed up to create a theatrical event to charm audiences of all ages.

The cast incudes many of Richmond’s favorite performers, including Liz Blake White, Doug Jones, Axle Burtness, Elisabeth Ashby, David Millman as young Dylan Thomas, and stars WCVE radio personality John Porter as Dylan Thomas. Porter, a long time Thomas fan, is tickled to be cast in this role. Community organizations may schedule Porter for a pre-show reading of Thomas' works. Call 804-232-4000 for more information.
