A delightful night of Welsh whimsy, warm comedy and poetic drama…

Under Milk Wood is a 1954 radio drama by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, adapted later as a stage play. An omniscient narrator invites the audience to listen to the dreams and innermost thoughts of the inhabitants of a fictional small Welsh fishing village Llareggub (“bugger all” backwards). They include Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard, relentlessly nagging her two dead husbands; Captain Cat, reliving his seafaring times; the two Mrs Dai Breads; Organ Morgan, obsessed with his music; and Polly Garter, pining for her dead lover.

Later, the town awakens and, aware now of how their feelings affect whatever they do, we watch them go about their daily business.

"Susan Stackhouse and Webb give masterful performances, playing over 30 characters between them and delineating each with mercurial changes in voice, accent and demeanor." The Coast

The two actors first worked together in Neptune Theatre’s ROMEO & JULIET in 2010, playing The Nurse and Friar. Off The Leash is thrilled to bring them together for this show.

"Under Milk Wood is a treat for the eyes, the ears and the heart." The Coast

"Off The Leash Creative presents a passionate and elegant production of Under Milk Wood. Famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas’s short play — about 70 minutes — is thrilling for its acting by Jeremy Webb, a British-born performer steeped in Shakespeare and the one-man, multi-character show, and Halifax actor, voice coach and theatre professor Susan Stackhouse. Both are adept at swift changes in accents and character and capture Thomas’s unusual and wonderful language, a language besotted with a love of description, of nature and of the human voice. This is a great opportunity to see a famous literary piece and understand why it is so famous."
