Under Milk Wood : A play for voices
Thomas, Dylan
Book
Lyrical and lilting, a melodious prose-poem conceived as a 'play for voices', Under Milk Wood is an affectionate and funny hymn to Wales from its most celebrated son. Telling the stories of a day in the lives of the inhabitants of Llareggub - from Mr Mog Edwards, 'a draper, mad with love', to Nogood Boyo, 'up to no good in the wash-house' - the narrators sweep through the town, listening in to their hopes and dreams and benignly watching over their actions in the richly realised landscape.
