Dylan Thomas’ centenary year celebrations are already starting to take shape across Wales and the rest of the World and Theatr Clwyd Cymru are currently touring an all-star casted revival of his most famous works Under Milk Wood. It’s a big year for Thomas – he is being celebrated across the nation and it’s also been 60 years since the BBC first produced Under Milk Wood posthumously. Terry Hands, the acclaimed director of Theatr Clwyd Cyrmu has revived this ‘play for voices’ for the stage and he has recruited an all-star cast to assist him. Under Milk Wood is a work of genius, ripe with vitality, rich in humour and populated by sublime, eccentric, enchanting characters. Come to Llareggub, a small Welsh town by the sea. Meet blind Captain Cat, Mog Edwards and his sweetheart Miss Price, Sinbad Sailor, Dai Bread, Polly Garter, Nogood Boyo and Lord Cut Glass. Walk along Coronation Street, Cockle Row and Donkey Street, down to the little fishing harbour and back to Milk Wood. Dylan Thomas explores their lives, hopes and thoughts in the dreams of a night and the rhythm of a day. Both a play and a poem, written from the heart, it offers an unforgettable journey into the roots of language and the soul of Wales. Taking the role of First Voice is Game of Thrones star Owen Teale, and he is accompanied by Steven Meo (High Hopes) and Katie Elin-Salt (Stella) amongst others. Under Milk Wood will be performed at The Riverfront, Newport from Wednesday 26 March – Saturday 29 March and tickets can be booked online by visiting www.newport.gov.uk/theriverfront or by calling 01633 656757. |
