A new chapter for Dylan Thomas in Swansea.

On International Dylan Thomas Day, Dog With A Bone Creative Studio is proud to announce that we are forming a partnership with the Dylan Thomas Centre (Swansea Council) to help produce a new era of Dylan Thomas-focused work in the city he called home.

Dylan Thomas belongs to the world, but he also belongs here. To our streets, our coastline, our language, our humour, our contradictions, our communities. His work is something to reimagine, reawaken and place back into the hands of audiences, artists, young people and the city itself.

We are incredibly passionate about celebrating Dylan’s legacy in ways that feel alive, accessible and ambitious, through theatre, performance, education, events and creative experiences that honour the past while speaking boldly to the present.

This partnership marks the beginning of something very special. We cannot wait to share what comes next. A new era of Dylan Thomas work, made in Swansea.

ROMEO+JULIET
Love is dangerous. Wales is burning.

Shakespeare’s greatest love story is reborn in the heart of 1926 South Wales in this thrilling new production blending passion, rebellion and the electric spirit of the roaring twenties.

As the country stands on the edge of collapse during the General Strike, two young people from rival worlds fall desperately and dangerously in love. Beneath the glow of jazz halls and dance floors, tensions rise through mining communities fighting for survival, while a new generation begins to challenge the rules of the old world.

Featuring live music, striking visuals, immersive atmosphere and a bold cinematic edge, ROMEO+JULIET transforms Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy into a visceral story of youth, conflict and hope. Flapper glamour collides with coal dust. Poetry collides with protest. And love burns brightly against a divided Wales.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor performance spaces, this ambitious new interpretation launches the Shake The Bard By DWAB initiative: a fresh movement dedicated to reimagining Shakespeare through bold concepts, contemporary energy and accessible storytelling for modern audiences.

Available from Summer 2026. Venue and location announcements coming soon, with a production pack available on request.
