When Matthew Rhys first took his partner Keri Russell to west Wales, he insisted on visiting Laugharne to show her a writing shed used by Dylan Thomas. They also stopped at the poet’s favourite pub. She reminded him of these facts recently. “Oh my God,” he says. “I really am a cliche.”
The actors, who starred in the TV drama The Americans, will perform together again on Tuesday at 92NY, an arts and innovation centre in New York that was responsible for bringing Thomas to America in 1950, catapulting him to fame on a triumphant but ultimately tragic series of tours.
