Full of raucous energy and lyrical passion, it is the most complete expression of Thomas' unique perspective on the human condition.<P>Called &#147;a play for voices&#148; by the author himself, Under Milk Wood premiered in 1953 with Thomas and five American actors reading the parts and was preserved, almost by chance, in this remarkable recording. Here is the author's greatest work rendered as he himself directed, in his own famous voice that captures the lively melodic essence of the work itself. <P>Featuring Dylan Thomas with Sada Thompson, Nancy Wickwire, Ray Poole, Dion Allen, and Allen F. Collins<P>This is the only recording ever made with Thomas in the cast, and it owes its existence to the chance thought someone had just before curtain of setting up the little tape recorder that was at hand and laying a microphone on the floor at the center of the stage. Although a studio recording for Caedmon was planned, Thomas did not live to do it. That this recording was not erased or lost or thrown away remains some kind of miracle. </P> 243711 book 6 1954 Under Milk Wood: A Play for Voices total:524|5:245|4:158|3:99|2:18|1:4| 524 2194 747 48 3 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Tue Apr 08 13:20:32 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 13:22:18 -0700 2008
