Under Milk Wood at UCLA Campus

Opening its 40th Anniversary Season and paying homage to the great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas on the 100th anniversary of his birth, L.A. Theatre Works records his immortal "play for voices" with a distinguished cast of Welsh and Welsh-American actors. Sara Sugarman directs Kate Burton (Scandal), Laura Evans (BBC's The Basil Brush Show), John Francis (Invasion Roswell), Jason Hughes (Midsomer Murders), Christopher Monger (director, The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain) and Matthew Rhys (The Americans) in Thomas' intensely beautiful, poignant and sublimely funny linguistic tour-de-force about the salty little fishing village of Llareggub — an enchanted spot where the wicked are forgiven and their indiscretions transformed into rich fuel for comedy. Each performance will be recorded live in front of an audience (without sets or costumes), and the final version will air on LATW's syndicated radio theater series, broadcasting weekly on public radio stations nationwide (locally, in Southern California, on KPFK 90.7 FM) and available for streaming on demand at www.latw.org.
