This takes place tomorrow at 7 pm and an audience is welcome so do come and join the readers.

Admission is £5, children free and a bar and soft drinks are available.

Under Milk Wood describes life in a small Welsh seaside town where not much seems to happen but nevertheless it is riveting.

The published version was completed just before Dylan Thomas’ death in 1953 and in January 1954 it became a radio drama by the BBC and soon after was adapted for the stage.
