“Under Milk Wood” to be Performed by Rogue Theater as Staged Reading

Rogue Theater’s latest production is Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas. Internationally acclaimed for its eccentricity and adored for its lovelorn lyricism, the play follows the comings and goings of the inhabitants over 24 hours and by giving us a glimpse into their lives – both peculiar and somehow peculiarly ordinary – it manages to say something universal about the human condition.

Thomas was a Welsh poet who also wrote short stories and plays. He often performed the readings himself. Under Milk Wood was first aired on BBC in 1954, one year after Thomas’ death. The reading gives an account of a spring day in a small Welsh town.

This “play of voices,” directed by David Clowers, will be performed as a staged reading on Jan. 23 at 7:30 pm and Jan. 24 at 2 pm, at the Sturgeon Bay Jaycee Hall, 340 Jaycee Ct., Sturgeon Bay. A $5 donation is appreciated. For more information call Rogue Theater at 920.818.0816.
