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. This performance will feature live drawing by CHRIS RIDDELL. Chris, the current Children's Laureate, is a prolific illustrator and author who has received many prestigious prizes, among them the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration three times. He is also a renowned political cartoonist whose work appears in The Observer, The Literary Review and The New Statesman.| 18 Dec 16 to 5 Feb 17 | Jermyn Street Theatre Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
