What to expect
The Dylan Thomas Collection
includes modern recordings of some of Dylan Thomas' most iconic works, read by renowned Welsh actor, Iwan Rheon. In this collection you'll find the everlasting wonder of
A Child's Christmas in Wales, lesser-known but no less beautiful stories
The Peaches and
Quite Early One Morning, six of his most famous poems, as well as a brand new version of
Under Milk Wood.
The last completely original audio-only production of Thomas' masterpiece,
Under Milk Wood, was in 1954 (two months after Thomas's death). It has been reprised countless times since then for stage, TV, and in book form, but this wholly new version, headed by Iwan Rheon as First Voice, keeps Thomas' original script but brings a bold, modern soundscape and authentic Welsh voices to his vivid storytelling.
The full cast of
Under Milk Wood includes Iwan Rheon, with Heledd Gwynn, Tim Treloar, Gareth Pierce, Ruby Valentino, Betsan Llwyd, Eiry Thomas, Elena Valentine, Aneirin Hughes, Michael Grinter, Elsie Gallacher, Geraint Pickard, Lowri Gwynne, Bronwen Price. Matt Addis reads Daniel Williams' Foreword.
The works included in this collection are:
- An Introduction from Daniel Williams, Professor of English Literature at Swansea University
- Under Milk Wood, featuring Iwan Rheon as First Voice, Heledd Gwynn as Second Voice, and a cast of Welsh actors as the rest of the cast
- A Child's Christmas in Wales
- Quite Early One Morning
- The Peaches
- x6 Poems
Dylan Thomas was born in 1914 in Swansea, Wales. Considered to be one of the greatest Welsh poets of all time, Thomas is largely known for his imaginative use of language and vivid imagery in his poems and radio plays.
