Notes From Your BooksellerAn ode to life and an examination of love, Under Milk Wood retains a levity of voice throughout, despite deeply examining the more difficult parts of the life being celebrated. Originally a radio play, it makes for a unique lens into a literary time often dominated by cynicism.
Matthew Rhys and Kate Burton headline a Welsh and Welsh-American cast celebrating the centenary of Dylan Thomas' birth in a performance of his timeless “play for voices.” With characters such as Captain Cat, Polly Garter, and Nogood Boyo, Thomas brings to life the inhabitants of the fictional town of Llareggub in funny, poignant, and poetic detail.
Includes a conversation with Andrew Lycett, author of Dylan Thomas: A New Life.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast production, starring Matthew Rhys, Kate Burton, Laura Evans, John Francis, Jason Hughes, Christopher Monger, Cerris Morgan-Moyer, Jo Osmond, and Morgan Ritchie.
