Walesonline.co.uk August 15th reports on a collaboration between Caffeine Theatre in Chicago and Dylan Down The Ups, the new organisation launched in Swansea by Geoff and Anne Haden , who contacted each other through AmeriCymru."From Under Milk Wood to across the pond", by Karen Price at the Western Mail http://www.walesonline.co.uk/showbiz-and-lifestyle/2009/08/15/from-under-milk-wood-to-across-the-pond-91466-24444907/ "DYLAN THOMAS has always had a close relationship with the USA."After all, he spent much of his time in New York, the city where he died in 1953."Now a Chicago-based theatre company is planning to revive his legacy for American audiences by staging his work."And its also the chance for British authors, whose pieces have been inspired by Thomas, to have their work shown to American audiences."Caffeine Theatre has teamed up with Dylan Down The Ups, the new organisation launched in Swansea by Geoff and Anne Haden."The couple, who run 5 Cwm-donkin Drive the home in Uplands, Swansea, where Thomas was born and which is now a tourist attraction have launched the group to keep Thomas memory alive as a man of the people rather than just as a writer and poet."Caffeine Theatre got in touch through the Welsh social network Americymru and they are both now coming up with ideas for special events both in Wales and America."This is exactly the kind of thing we created this network for, that people could find each other and create things together - friendship, family ties, art, business, whatever - and we wish them every success.
