A Poet in New York (2014)

In the bustling cityscape of New York, 1953, renowned poet Dylan Thomas crashes into the scene, accompanied by his assistant and secret lover, Liz Reitell. With a goal to perform a series of poetry recitals that stretch to the sun-soaked shores of California, and a dream to meet the legendary Stravinsky, Thomas navigates his way through the city's vibrant chaos. Yet, his constant companion is the intoxicating allure of drink, which dances on the edge of his every moment, leading him to the brink of missed appointments, physical ailments, and a growing paranoia towards his patient agent, John Brinnin. Within the historic walls of the Chelsea hotel, memories of his Welsh upbringing wash over him, including a tender interaction with his ailing father - the muse for his poignant piece, 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night'. Recollections of moments spent with his wife Caitlin and daughter Aeronwy also surface as he pens the masterpiece, 'Under Milk Wood'. Amidst the whirlwind of his New York journey, he manages to mend fences with John, yet his unfaithful actions spark a fury in Liz, and his ceaseless dance with the bottle ensures he never fulfills his dream of meeting Stravinsky. As the poet's journey unfolds, it becomes tragically clear that his stay in New York will be his final act, a mere few months away from the curtain's fall.
