Under Milk Wood

''Roguish, prancing, with blazing characters and lines. The words dizzied me, their grandeur, their wit.'' ''He is unique, for he distils an exquisite mysterious moving quality which defies analysis.'' ''A tour de force of oral poetry which oozes word pictures and onomatopoeic musicality.''

‘To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent…’

Commissioned for the BBC for radio, Dylan Thomas’s masterpiece, Under Milk Wood, is set in the fictional Welsh seaside village of Llareggub one spring day. An extraordinary cast of beautifully penned portraits come together, mingling dreams with reality, to give a now immortal depiction of the intertwined lives of a small Welsh community.

The work of Dylan Thomas is widely regarded as being amongst the greatest of the Modern period, and his ‘play for voices’, Under Milk Wood, is one of the best-loved works in the literary canon.
