The Definitive Edition
In 1951, two years before his death at page of 39, Dylan Thomas wrote of his plan to complete a radio play, "an impression for voices, an entertainment out of the darkness, of the town I live in, and to write it simply and warmly and comically with lots of movement and varieties of moods, so that, at many levels . . . you come to know the town as an inhabitant of it". The work was 'Under Milk Wood' - an orchestration of voices, sights and sounds that conjure up the dreams and waking hours of an imagined Welsh seaside village within the cycle of one day.
Thomas's flawed villagers reveal a world of delight, gossip and regret, of varied and vivid humanity; a world that his classic "play for voices" celebrates as "this place of love".
With critical introduction and explanatory notes.
