Leon Pownall, the author of the play, says it best.
So, from the ATF program book:

'In Envy of Some Greatness' I write about a Dylan [Thomas] who is no
longer in purgatory. He is no longer a drunk. He is no longer a wastrel.
He has atoned for six of the seven deadly sins and he is waiting at
Heaven's Door. He cannot get into Heaven until he atones for
his envy of Shakespeare.

And that is why we are here tonight. To help dear-old-dead Dylan
find the password to paradise.

At Geraint's request, and having seen his magnificent performance
as Dylan Thomas in 'Do Not Go Gentle', I wrote 'In Envy of Some
Greatness' specifically for him. Geraint encompasses what I consider
tobe the very best talent an actor has to offer: a unique and believable
personality, a wealth of passion, a natural sense of poetry - nothing
forced or a lilting la-dee-da here. He has a sense of humour about the
work and himself. He has a keen wit - not necessarily funny but incisive.
He has a sense if timing and not t-t-t-timing ; and he has a glorious
cut-glass voice born of his deeply spiritual Welsh heritage. He is
writer's dream, an actor un-afraid and willing to take a chance.

Ger after the play.

Ger and the ATF donated Dylan's baton (being autographed above)
and the audio tape of the opening sequence (below) for charity auctions.

Hmmm, where have I seen that picture before?

Lachyd da!
