Under Milk Wood

As part of the season of programmes celebrating the centenary of Dylan Thomas's birth, a community of Welsh talent come together for this one-off production of his 'play for voices', performed across New York, Los Angeles, London, Cardiff and Laugharne. Michael Sheen opens as First Voice, with Tom Jones as Captain Cat, and as each of Dylan's characters joins in, the piece builds into a collage of famous voices and faces. They include Matthew Rhys, Ioan Gruffudd, Sian Phillips, Jonathan Pryce, Bryn Terfel, Katherine Jenkins, Griff Rhys Jones, Charlotte Church, Robert Pugh, Eve Myles, Owen Teale and Kimberley Nixon. The words are intercut with evocative imagery inspired by the play, while the performance was created as part of a live event by National Theatre Wales

Under Milk Wood airs on BBC Four HD at 11:10 PM, Wednesday 19 March. (Subtitles.)
