Spring 2011 - Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas |
|
Autumn 2010 - Round and Round the Garden by Alan Aykbourn |

There is a timeless quality to Under Milk Wood, starting on a “moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black” we peep onto the houses of the sleepers—of their dreams and grand desires. Boys are “dreaming wicked” - Dai Bread the baker with one wife for the day and one for the night, dreams of harems |
|
and Nogood Boyo cannot be bothered to dream of anything at all. At dawn, the characters come to life and live their day. This small town is the imaginary Welsh village of Llareggub (read that backwards for Dylan’s little joke). |
