About this listen
A classic BBC Radio full-cast production of Dylan Thomas' poetic play for voices starring Richard Burton as the narrator. 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.

Daily life in Milk Wood.
I was enthralled within minutes of starting to listen right at the beginning Richard Burtons voice has you listening intently for each word, description that Dylan Thomas wrote. Closing my eyes I could actually feel and see what was being explained. I have listened to the reading 4 times already as I am totally woven into this talking story the description of people the houses, rooms the state of weather being day or night. I would like to Thank everybody on a brilliant production of a Grand classic it has been just wonderful pleasurable experience. Thank you. Jennie Hall.

Fabulous play for voices
I studied this play in my final year of high school and still love it to this day. The best recording of them all - just how the piece was meant to be enjoyed.
