About this product

Product Information

'To begin at the beginning: it is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black...' When Richard Burton breathed the opening words of Under Milk Wood into a microphone, broadcasting history was made. For this 'play for voices' conjures up the intimate dreams and waking lives of the inhabitants of a Welsh seaside village in a remarkable way. It is bawdy and beautiful; its colourful characters lust and love, gossip and fantasise. Through the magic of language, Under Milk Wood creates a rich modern pastoral which, once heard, touches the listener with its poetry and haunts the imagination for ever. This radio drama is the completed version broadcast in 1963 which includes several passages that were omitted from the first recording in 1954. 2 CDs. 1 hr 41 mins.

  • Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and enjoy the journey to a Welsh village.

    If you love the lyricism of words and their ability to carry you into another place, you will love listening to this recording. And the nearly edible voice of Richard Burton is the perfect adjunct to this Dylan Thomas' poetic journey to a small Welsh village and its' residents. It's an immersing journey you won't forget.

  • History with humour and reality

    Perfect for becoming immersed in a world which is now gone from us. There are some great one liners, eg "Fill her up Sinbad, I'm on a treacle tonight." The children's chant is beautifully executed and evokes life in the valleys.
