The Welsh poet Dylan Thomas is known as one of the greatest lyric voices of the 20th century. Celebrated for his poetry, he also wrote a play for voices “Under Milk Wood”, comissioned by the BBC and aired on the radio in 1954, shortly after Thomas’ death.

“Under Milk Wood” is a moving and hilarious account of 24 hours in the life of a tiny Welsh fishing village that takes us into the dreams, desires and habits of its eccentric ,but often endearing inhabitants. “ Lyrical, impassioned and funny, an Our Town given universality” (The Nation) “A dazzling combination of poetric fireworks and music hall humor” (New York Times)
