Pear Presents Dylan Thomas UNDER MILK WOOD
Under Milk Wood will be directed by Sinjin Jones and presented online beginning March 12.by BWW News Desk
Pear Theatre presents Under Milk Wood, an emotive and hilarious account of a spring day in the fictional Welsh village of Llareggub, where we learn of the inhabitants dreams and desires, their loves and regrets, and the ultimate beauty of being human.
Commissioned by the BBC as a radio drama and later adapted for the stage, and described by creator Dylan Thomas as a play for voices , Under Milk Wood is a simple and elegant piece in which Pear Theatre will explore sound, theatrical movement, and the power of the mixed media production. Overseen by an omniscient narrator, the inhabitants of the tiny (imaginary) Welsh fishing village Llareggub spend an average day pining for lost loves, obsessing over past mistakes and future hopes; working, drinking, gossiping, playing, singing, and dreaming.
