Selkie Theatre invites you to celebrate the season by joining us for our ever-popular concert reading of Dylan Thomas’s magical holiday tale, A Childs Christmas in Wales, directed by George B. Miller.A Child’s Christmas In Wales is one of poet Dylan Thomas’s best known works; a radio prose poem recorded almost by chance that has since become a beloved Christmas classic.
Set in the wintry Welsh countryside of the poet’s youth, it vividly evokes the sights, smells, and sounds of a long-ago Christmas.
"I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or twelve days and twelve nights when I was six." - Dylan Thomas When first performed at the historic Anam Cara Farm (c. 1794) in 2013, Selkie’s “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” was a memorable, sold-out success. This year, Selkie’s salon-style concert performance will be offered in two more unique Bethlehem venues...McCarthy’s Red Stag Pub / Sunday, December 15 @ 3pmThis intimate performance on Sunday, December 15, at 3pm takes place in the beautiful Great Room upstairs at McCarthy’s Red Stag Pub on Main Street in downtown Bethlehem.
