Milk Wood Choir
Saturday 17 October 7.00 pm
Llanddewi Rhydderch
Village Hall
NP7 9TR
On Saturday 17 October 2026 7.00 pm, a full production of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood is taking place, directed by Eryl Sheers. This is a radio drama from 1953 and it makes full use of the possibilities of a sound-only production.
An essential part of the dramatic structure is the sound of school children playing singing games, Johnny Crack and Gwennie, Gwennie, call the boys . A choir is being raised to sing these songs and couple of other snippets.
As the singers are playing the part of children, the choir will consist of ladies only and, as the space available for the choir will be limited, the number of singers will be restricted to ten.
