Under Milk Wood : A play for voices
Description
The definitive edition of one of Dylan Thomas's most famous works, reissued to coincide with the 50th anniversary of his death. Evoking the desires and realities of the citizens of Llaregub, a small seaside town, this radio play contains a rich weave of voices, both poetic and alliterative, spiced with songs and ballads. This study edition contains both the text and a commentary upon it. In 1951, two years before his death, Dylan Thomas wrote of his plan to complete a radio play, 'an impression for voices, an entertainment out of the darkness, of the town I live in, and to write it simply and warmly and comically with lots of movement and varieties of moods, so that, at many levels...you come to know the town as an inhabitant of it'. The work was UNDER MILK WOOD - an orchestration of voices, sights and sounds that conjure up the dreams and waking hours of an imagined Welsh seaside village within the cycle of one day. Includes an introduction, notes, selected criticism and chronology of Thomas's life and times.Stock Information
