For the 70th anniversary of the first radio broadcast of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood (25th January 1954), five short dramatic portraits from different areas of Wales in 2024.
Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood was first broadcast on the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ's Third Programme, the predecessor to Radio 3. To this day, it remains one of the most famous radio dramas of all time. To mark the anniversary, Radio 3 has commissioned a new series of five short dramatic portraits from different areas of Wales in 2024, inspired by Thomasβ original idea of an omniscient narrator, who invites the audience to listen to the dreams and innermost thoughts of the inhabitants of a fictional small Welsh fishing town. In this new series of dramatic portraits, Ruth Jones (Gavin & Stacey, Stella) is the First Voice, linking all the βUnder Milk Woodsβ together. An omnibus version will be broadcast on Sunday 28th January in Drama on 3.
