It has to be seen to be believed! Celebrating its 70th anniversary, Olivier Award winner Guy Masterson celebrates his own 30th anniversary with Dylan Thomas’ enduring masterpiece – Under Milk Wood: a day in the life of ‘Llareggub’ – a fictional sea-town somewhere in Wales…
In an amazing feat of memory and physical virtuosity, Masterson recreates all 69 of Dylan Thomas’ wonderfully ebullient inhabitants entirely on his own!
Complemented by a stunning original soundscape by Matt Clifford, this unique solo interpretation makes the words sing! It’s bawdy and beautiful, sad and sensual and, through the music of language, leaves indelible, unforgettable images of humanity. The beauty of Thomas’s wordplay and Masterson’s virtuosity will leave you breathless!
Inspired by his famous uncle, Richard Burton – who led the first broadcast of Under Milk Wood on the BBC World Service in January 1954 – this award winning production has played well over 2000 times all around the world since 1993 from Edinburgh to the West End, New York to New Zealand, Hong Kong to Calcutta over its 30 years, enchanting audiences wherever it has played…
