A Child’s Christmas in Wales
Wednesday, December 10
Harry Ransom Center (21st & Guadaloupe)
7pm, Free
[info]

The Harry Ransom Center will present a very special holiday performance of the Dylan Thomas story A Child's Christmas In Wales this evening at 7pm. The story, which paints the story of the December holiday through the lens of childhood innocence and joy, was written in 1955 and is easily one of Thomas' most tenderly nostalgic pieces.

To accompany the story, read by Suzi Stern, a trio of jazz musicians consisting of Alex Coke, Rich Harney and Buddy Mohmed will improvise around the text but will also perform music written specifically for the piece by Stern and Harney.

The event is free, at 7pm, and will also be broadcast on the web.
