Under Milk Wood
By Christine Davey

Under Milk Wood is a subversive theatrical adaptation of the 1954 Dylan Thomas radio drama.

In this lavish iteration, we examine the global through the personal – visiting a town over a 24-hour life cycle, from night to day to night again. This town is anywhere, anytime, the people, any one of us. This is theatre of heightened reality – larger than life, celebrating life. With 8 actors playing more than 60 roles, in this dreamlike and timeless atmosphere, characters inhabit the world as it was, is and will be. This adaptation has been developed through a creative development/scripting process. It is a love letter to performance and language.
