Listen…the applause at the end of the performance says it all. Dylan Thomas’ seminal classic Under Milk Wood has the power to catch the attention of anybody willing to open their ears and truly pay attention for a couple of hours.
In the year that marks the centenary of Dylan Thomas’ birth and the 60th anniversary of the play’s British première, Clwyd Theatre Cymru’s acclaimed production of Under Milk Wood comes to the Liverpool Playhouse from Monday 19th to Saturday 24th May.
Directed by Liverpool Everyman founder Terry Hands and featuring Owen Teale, Dylan Thomas’ rapturous Under Milk Wood is a work of genius; ripe with vitality, rich in humour and populated by sublime, eccentric, enchanting characters. Both a play and a poem, written from the heart, it offers an unforgettable journey into the roots of language and the soul of Wales.
