To mark the 70th anniversary of the first radio broadcast of Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood (25 January 1954), five Welsh writers present short dramatic portraits of their area of Wales in 2024, with Ruth Jones as First Voice. The writers are Joe Dunthorne (Swansea), Manon Steffan Ros (Tywyn), Menna Elfyn (New Quay), Hanan Issa (Cardiff) and Rachel Trezise (the Rhondda). With additional narration by Joe Dunthorne. Thomas’s Under Milk Wood moves through the fictional town of Llareggub over the course of a single day, from before dawn to after dusk. Our five dramatic portraits follow this chronology, but shift location around Wales. They each take a line from Thomas as their starting point and their spur.
