Overview

In 1953 Dylan Thomas went to New York for the last time, his marriage a wreck, his drinking out of control. He was on his way to meet Stravinsky and to wallow in New York acclaim - but what was he escaping? How did such a triumph become a requiem? The last days of a great poet.

You feel the actor inhabiting Thomas without judgment, without self-consciousness, baring the inner turbulence, the unmet hunger, the selfishness, the childishness, the arrogance, and the self-destructiveness all swimming around in his mind.

Matthew Gilbert, Boston Globe

Anyone who watches won't soon forget A Poet in New York, one of the best things on television this year.

Gail Pennington, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
