Under Milk Wood

Jan. 01, 2008

 A KCRW holiday tradition; Sir Richard Burton leads Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' "Play for Voices," recorded by the BBC.

A KCRW holiday tradition; Sir Richard Burton leads Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' "Play for Voices," recorded by the BBC. This polyphonic evocation of a day in the life of an imaginary small Welsh seaside town--as the inhabitants sleep, wake and go about their daily activities--creates a portrait of a community responding almost mythically to the awakening of Spring.
