    Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog

    12/06/2026 | 56 min
    Returning to Swansea after the blitz, Dylan Thomas is overwhelmed by memories of his childhood and adolescence.
    From summers at Fern Hill, to failed camping trips on the beach; from plagiarised poetry to drunken first love, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog is a story of what it is to grow up.
    Comic, nostalgic, with a host of vivid characters, Dylan Thomas’s masterpiece is adapted by Joe Dunthorne (Submarine, Children of Radium) and stars Gerran Howell (The Pitt) as Dylan Thomas.
