The Swansea Little Theatre is an amateur drama group based at The Dylan Thomas Theatre and was the first Little Theatre in Wales. The theatre group began performances from 1924 and was based at various different locations during its early years. In the early 1930s, the poet
Dylan Thomas became a member of the troupe after first reviewing plays by the Little Theatre for the
South Wales Evening Post. In 1932, he appeared with the group for a production of
Noël Coward's
Hay Fever, taking the role of Simon. A local critic wrote that Thomas was "an artist with an explosive temper and untidy habits". Thomas appeared in plays with the theatre for the next two or three years. ==Notes==
