Summary
A classic BBC Radio full-cast production of Dylan Thomas' poetic play for voices starring Richard Burton as the narrator. To begin at the beginning: it is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black....
When Richard Burton breathed the opening words of Under Milk Wood into a microphone, broadcasting history was made. For this ‘play for voices’ conjures up the intimate dreams and waking lives of the inhabitants of a Welsh seaside village in a remarkable way. It is bawdy and beautiful; its colourful characters lust and love, gossip and fantasise. Through the magic of language, 'Under Milk Wood' creates a rich modern pastoral which, once heard, touches the listener with its poetry and haunts the imagination for ever. This radio drama is the completed version broadcast in 1963, which includes several passages that were omitted from the first recording in 1954.

Oldie but pure Gold
Richard Burton is one of our most distinguished actors and he has the most amazing voice. It is perfect for this piece from Dylan Thomas. When this came out on the radio it was to great acclaim. Rightly so. Got to be a listen for all.

The honey-tongued voice of Richard Burton
No one could doubt the dulcet, mellifluous voice of Richard Burton.
And here it is in all its glory, making this classic play enriched and everlasting.

gripping narration
I actually sat in the car for 15 mins after driving home from work because I wanted to listen until the end. A masterclass in narration by Richard Burton, and I loved the rest of the cast as well. This must be the definitive dramatisation, for all time. Impossible to improve on perfection.

sublime
I have loved this since I was a child ... and it only gets better. It's like a meditation to listen to Dylan Thomas' beautifully put together words, and Richard Burton ... Is the only person I could ever hear read this story, which has so many layers, who's voice resonates with the woven tale bringing a depth justifying the sublime coupling of these two incredible talents. I'm a big fan !

Timeless
This is such a beautiful time capsule of Welsh village life. I wish I could illiterate myself as well as Dylan so I could do it justice.

exceptional
Richard Burton's rich voice was perfect. The rest of the cast were brilliant. Strong welsh accents made this a perfect match with the material. It takes you into another world.
