A new edition of Dylan Thomas's dazzling radio play
It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent...
In the Welsh seaside town of Llareggub, night is moving in the streets. Its inhabitants are lost in the land of dreams- old Captain Cat catches up with his drowned shipmates, Mog Edwards the draper is consumed by mad love for Miss Price the dressmaker, and Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard whips the ghosts of her two late husbands into shape. As the sun rises, the 'dismays and rainbows' of each character are played out within the cycle of one day, intertwining voices and lives, dreams and reality. By turns tender, hilarious and beautifully lyrical, Dylan Thomas's 'play for voices' is his most beloved work and a landmark of Welsh literature.
