Who played 'First Voice' in the original BBC radio production of 'Under Milk Wood' (and also in the film version)?
Under Milk Wood (2015 film) Under Milk Wood (2015 film) Under Milk Wood (Welsh version: Dan y Wenallt) is a 2015 Welsh drama film based on Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas. It is adapted and directed by Kevin Allen. The narrator is Rhys Ifans. The film was selected as the British entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but not nominated. The 2015 production of "Under Milk Wood" (starring Rhys Ifans and Charlotte Church) was the first film adaptation of the play since the 1972 film (which starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton). The new version was filmed largely
Under Milk Wood International Fringe Festival and sold out its entire run. It has since played over 2000 times globally. In 1997 Australian pianist and composer Tony Gould's adaptation of "Under Milk Wood" (written for narrator and chamber orchestra) was first performed by actor John Stanton and the Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra. In November 2003, as part of their commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Thomas's death, the BBC broadcast a new production of the play, imaginatively combining new actors with the original 1954 recording of Burton playing "First Voice".
