Details
Lyrical piece about life in a Welsh fishing village. A play for voices first broadcast in 1954 with Richard Burton as First Voice. Come to Llareggub, a small Welsh town by the sea. Meet blind Captain Cat, Mog Edward's 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. Join the townsfolk as Dylan Thomas explores their lives, hopes and thoughts in the dreams of a night and rhythm of a day, from the first light of dawn into a busy morning and through the long, slow afternoon. JHR music present the complete script of this most loved and timeless piece of engaging theatre, together with new music written and performed by North East composer James Russell and his quintet playing live on stage. The cast and musicians lead us through this "Green leaved sermon on the innocence of men", concentrating on a day in the life of the imagined Welsh seaside village of Llareggub. Thomas's flawed villagers reveal a world of delight, gossip and regret, varied and vivid, a village that his classic ' play for voices' celebrates as 'this place of love'.
