Saturday Night Radio Drama - Dylan Thomas - Under Milk Wood

 


Dylan Thomas with the Original New York cast. 

Recorded at the Poetry Center of the YM-YWHA, Lexington Avenue and 92nd Street, New York, on May 14, 1953, with Dylan Thomas, Dion Allen, Allen F. Collins, Roy Poole, Sada Thompson, and Nancy Wickwire.

I posted this once before but it's worth hearing again, and again.   I prefer this full cast version with the poet doing the narration to the more known one of Richard Burton reading it.  No one can read Dylan Thomas like he could.

It is one of the greatest of all radio dramas in any language.  You can compare it to Four Faced Liar from last week to see if I was right about the similarities.
