Theatre production of Dylan Thomas's Llareggub story, staged by a company of which Dylan Thomas himself was once a member.
Under Milk Wood opens at the Dylan Thomas Theatre on Wednesday 28 October, running through to Saturday 31 October. It's the Dylan Thomas story of life in the village of Llareggub, a piece that's been on stage for over 70 years and still manages to thrill, amuse and move. If you've never seen it, it's a good place to start with Thomas—the kind of thing that works as well in a theatre as it does on the page.
There's a bit of a connection here that the theatre makes a point of: the production is staged by a company of which Dylan Thomas himself was once a member. It's a nice detail to keep in mind when you're sitting there, knowing the man who wrote the lines once stood on the same kind of boards.
The Dylan Thomas Theatre puts on six adult productions a year, and they cover a fair bit of ground—classics and contemporary, farce and the profound. Beyond the main stage, they run a Young Players group for ages 8 to 18 that's open to new students, alongside monthly club nights and a coffee morning on the last Thursday of every month, which they use to help new actors and directors work their way up to full, large-scale productions. This run of Under Milk Wood is one of those full productions.
