Dylan Thomas - Under Milk Wood

Unread post

Didn't see any discussion of Dylan Thomas here. He wrote a "Play for Voices" called Under Milk Wood. The BBC staged it in 1954, with Richard Burton in the lead. I've posted the text and a recording of that production. I think the links are active now.

About halfway down the page. You can right-click the Text, open that in a new tab, then click on part 1 of the broadcast and follow along. The two parts of the play total to about 90 minutes.

I was introduced to that piece by a reference in Starless by King Crimson.
