The actor, who starred in the play “Dear Mr. Thomas,” tours the poet’s old haunts with his partner, Keri Russell, and finds them disappointingly not crummy, H. C. Wilentz writes.
Rhys, who is forty-nine, wore an old quilted jacket and Timberland boots. A few days earlier, at the 92nd Street Y, he had starred in “Dear Mr. Thomas: A New Play for Voices,” staged in the same auditorium where the poet’s first reading in the U.S. had commanded a crowd of almost a thousand. “There are elements of Thomas’s life that are very much magnified—his drinking being one of them,” Rhys said.
Rhys was dismayed by a new outdoor patio decorated with garlands of fake flowers. A bouncer guarded the door. Malia Obama sat at a table with a group, looking bored. “It used to be grotty—that’s what I loved about it,” he said. “De Niro’s brother used to come in drinking—he looks a lot like him—and when people would glance over at him the barman would scream, ‘It’s not him!’ ” Rhys walked past the bar and into a space labelled the Dylan Thomas Room.
