DESCRIPTION:
(from BBC America's press release, September 2014) A life filled with passion, fame and the harsh realities of addiction is the story behind Dylan Thomas (Tom Hollander, Rev., In The Loop), one of the most renowned poets the world has ever seen. The creator of some of the most memorable lines in the English language, his brilliance, popularity and electrifying tours made him a much-loved celebrity in the US. But his failing marriage, heightened fame and wild, hard-drinking lifestyle led to his untimely death in 1953 at the age of just 39. Marking the centenary of his birth, A Poet in New York, written by acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Davies (Little Dorrit, Bridget Jones Diary, House of Cards), explores the adored poet's final days in New York City.
