Last Call
Last Call is a fictional account of the final days of the exuberant and notorious Welsh poet Dylan Thomas as he sets out on a final poetry tour in New York. Desperate for money and with a wife and three children dependent on him, Thomas accepts the job believing it is beneath him. He spends time in the city drinking at the White Horse Tavern and becoming increasingly ill between poetry readings. Everything comes to a head when he goes on a bender so extreme he cannot perform the last lecture, makes a scene at the bar, and has his final drink while ruminating on life, death, and the concept of love.
