Event Description

‘It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black’

In this talk, Mark Damon Chutter will explore ‘ Under Milk Wood’ by Dylan Thomas. This work was a radio drama written in 1954 and commissioned by the BBC. An omniscient narrator invites the audience to listen to the dreams and innermost thoughts of the fictional Welsh fishing village, Llareggub. Join Mark to explore the characters of Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard, Captain Cat and Polly Garter as we ‘begin, at the beginning of this ‘play for voices’.

  • Duration: 60 mins
  • Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (no replay available)
