{"product_id":"adventures-in-the-skin-trade-andrew-sinclair-9780811217859","title":"Adventures in the Skin Trade","description":"As a rule, a good novel does not always make a good play--especially a novel as unconventional as this one by Dylan Thomas. But Andrew Sinclair's brilliant adaptation of \u003cem\u003eAdventures in the Skin Trade\u003c\/em\u003e is the exception. This is the story of young Samuel Bennet--a not entirely innocent provincial--who leaves his Welsh home to let adventure find him in London. Sam is soon deeply involved--all the while with his finger stuck fast in an ale bottle--with a fantastic assortment of odd characters whom only Dylan Thomas could have conceived.
