Dylan Thomas Theatre

The Dylan Thomas Theatre is a theatre in the Maritime Quarter, in the centre of the city of Swansea in Wales. The theatre officially opened under its present name in 1983,[1] but was home to the Swansea Little Theatre from 1979.

Swansea Little Theatre

The Swansea Little Theatre is an amateur drama group based at The Dylan Thomas Theatre and was the first Little Theatre in Wales. The theatre group began performances from 1924 and was based at various different locations during its early years.

In the early 1930s, the poet

Aeronwy Thomas-Ellis
, became president of the theatre.

In 1979, Swansea City Council offered the Swansea Little Theatre the derelict former Oscar Chess showroom and garage, in an area which had been earmarked for development, as a permanent home. On 29 September 1983, Sir Harry Secombe officially opened the theatre, now named the Dylan Thomas Theatre.[4]
