12 May-24 MayThe London Theatre Company presents UNDER MILK WOOD A Play for Voices by Dylan Thomas Director: Malcolm Taylor Cast: Philip Madoc will play the First Voice with: Howell Evans, Cerith Flinn, Abi Harris, Jennifer Hill, Gareth Kennerley, Glyn Pritchard and Anne Rutter, with the voice of David Jason as the Voice Of The Guidebook. UNDER MILK WOOD, Dylan Thomas’ most famous and enduring work was first performed by six actors in the Kaufman auditorium in New York in May 1953 with Dylan himself reading the First Voice. Originally intended for radio – it was broadcast with Richard Burton in January 1954 – it has delighted theatre audiences for more than half a century. Funny, bawdy, sad and sensual, it brilliantly captures twenty-four hours in the lives – and dreams – of the inhabitants of Llareggub (read it backwards!) – an imaginary, small seaside town in south Wales. Malcolm Taylor’s new, simply staged production gives full rein to the words and majesty of Thomas’ timeless masterpiece. Tickets £10-£20. Please note: on Mon 12 May there will be an informal dress rehearsal, tickets £5. Only 75 tickets available. Call 020 7328 1000 to book. Mid-week mats Thurs 15 & Wed 21 May. Press night Wed 14 May at 7pm.
