American dream for makers of Dylan Thomas hit
A SHOW celebrating the relationship between one of Swansea's most famous sons and his great friend could be on its way to America.
Warmley, which examines the relationship between Dylan Thomas and lifelong pal Daniel Jones, was written by Swansea artists, musician Rob Marshall and actor Adrian Metcalfe, who have been performing the production around south Wales and in England.

Musician Rob Marshall, and actor Adrian Metcalfe, with a bust of Dylan Thomas – their play Warmley about the poet and his pal Dan Jones is about to be released on CD.
The show, named after Dan's childhood home where the talented friends used to play together, has proved so popular, that the pair have made a studio recording of the production.
Rob, a member of the Swansea Festival of Music and the Arts executive committee, said: "We have had bookings for the show all over the place, and we have even had invites from America. We are talking about things now and trying to make it happen."
The CD is launched at a special production of Warmley this weekend, at the Dylan Thomas Centre, which will be attended by Daniel Jones's daughter Cathy, and her husband Rob, who will introduce the production with a short talk.
Performers Rob and Adrian will launch the CD after the production, when they will be signing copies.
The show takes place on Saturday at 1pm.
