Full Cast Announced for Theatr Clwyd’s 50th Anniversary Production of Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood
Directed by Kate Wasserberg, Theatr Clwyd’s major production of Under Milk Wood, Dylan Thomas’s beloved masterpiece, will tour Wales, stopping at the Torch Theatr, Milford Haven for a 10 day run during April. This week, the full cast was announced for the 50th anniversary season and fresh staging.
Combining Thomas’s lyrical storytelling with a visually rich and fully accessible production in which British Sign Language, creative captioning and audio description are integrated into every performance, this production of Under Milk Wood is one not to be missed by all audiences.
In the small seaside town of Llareggub, the dreams and secrets of its inhabitants drift through the night — lost loves, drowned shipmates, small scandals and quiet longings. By turn mischievous, tender and deeply human, Under Milk Wood is a funny and moving portrait of community, brought to life through an ensemble performance that captures the musicality and magic of Dylan Thomas’s language.
The full cast members that can be seen on the Torch Theatre stage are Douglas Walker (The Visit - NT), Caroline Parker (Signs of a Star Shaped Diva - Theatre Royal Stratford East/New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich), Macsen McKay (First Three Drops -Taking Flight), Izzi McCormack-John (Hot Chicks – Grand Ambition/Sherman), Adam Bassett (Hullraisers – Channel 4), Georgia Griffiths (Power Of Words - Theatr nanÓg), Seán Carlsen (His Dark Materials - BBC), Jacob Coleman (Nye-NT), Amy Conachan (Blood Wedding – Graeae Theatre), Mirain Fflur (Gwaith/Cartref – S4C) and Chandu Gopalakrishnan (High Times&Dirty Monsters - 20 Stories High/Graeae Theatre).
A Theatr Clwyd production created as part of Craidd, Under Milk Wood is a collaboration between five Welsh arts organisations working to improve mainstream representation of deaf and disabled people both on and off stage across Wales. Following its Mold run, Under Milk Wood tours to Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre,Milford Haven’s Torch Theatre,and Bangor’s Pontio Arts Centre.
Under Milk Wood can be seen on the Torch Theatre stage from 16 April to Saturday 25 April. Ticket prices from £15. For further information visit the Torch Theatre website www.torchtheatre.co.uk / phone the Box Office on (01646) 695267 or click here.
