Cause for Drama and Friends present Under Milk Wood, the radio play
Celebrating the 100th Anniversary Year of Richard Burton's birth, this year's festival presents Under Milk Wood, the radio play.
Director Nick Dowsett brings his cast of eleven to Theatr Gwaun to open Ar Ymyl y Tir 2025 On Land's Edge festival - Dylan Thomas’s sparkling dialogue and rich narrative spans just 24 hours of human experience in a small Welsh seaside town. Thomas himself described it as 'prose with blood pressure.'
Our reading of the play seeks to capture the tone and atmosphere of the original broadcast (1954), whilst at the same time embracing the character and humanity of our own 'rough and tumbling town'.
'Under Milk Wood' is one of the most enchanting works for broadcasting ever written. 'Beautiful, bawdy, affectionate, reckless and deeply original...' (Sunday Times)
I ddathlu canmlwyddiant geni Richard Burton, mae gŵyl eleni yn cyflwyno Under Milk Wood, y ddrama radio.
Mae'r cyfarwyddwr Nick Dowsett yn dod â'i gast un ar ddeg i Theatr Gwaun i agor gŵyl Ar Ymyl y Tir 2025 On Land's Edge - Mae deialog ddisglair a naratif cyfoethog Dylan Thomas yn disgrifio pedair awr ar hugain o brofiad dynol mewn tref glan môr fach yng Nghymru. Disgrifiodd Thomas ei hun y ddrama fel 'rhyddiaith gyda phwysedd gwaed.'
Mae ein darlleniad o'r ddrama yn ceisio dal tôn ac awyrgylch y darllediad gwreiddiol (1954), tra ar yr un pryd yn cofleidio cymeriad a dynoliaeth ein 'tref garw a chwyldroadol' ein hunain.
Mae 'Under Milk Wood' yn un o'r gweithiau mwyaf hudolus ar gyfer darlledu a ysgrifennwyd erioed. 'Prydferth, anweddus, cariadus, di-hid a gwreiddiol iawn...' (Sunday Times)
