Under Milk Wood comes to the Civic Theatre. This legendary internationally acclaimed performance returns to Chelmsford on Friday 20 January at 7.45pm. It was last here in April 2009, when I gave it a 5* review.
‘One of the most inventive, remarkable performances of the decade.’ The Times
Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas' most famous and enduring work now translated into over 100 languages. A favourite since its first broadcast with Richard Burton in January 1954, it brilliantly conjures the intimate dreams and innermost desires of the inhabitants of Llareggub - a small fictional sea-town somewhere in Wales. Bawdy and beautiful, sad and sensual, through the music of language, it creates indelible, unforgettable images of humanity.
Using nothing but a wooden chair, dark glasses, apposite lighting and a beautifully haunting soundscape by Matt Clifford, Guy Masterson performs the entire work - all 69 characters; men, women, girls, boys, cows, pigs, a horse and a cat - himself! It is unbelievably recreated and entirely enchanting.
Tickets cost £15.00 (full-price) and £12.00 (concession). Registered unemployed and full-time (FE/HE) students pay just £7.00.
