Dylan Thomas gave his first U.S. reading at 92Y’s Poetry Center in 1950; he read there several times over the years. On May 14, 1953, with a cast of actors, Thomas premiered his masterpiece, Under Milk Wood - a brilliant snapshot of life in a Welsh fishing village - before a sold-out Kaufmann Concert Hall. The 2014 encore performance was broadcast live on BBC Radio Wales, but the footage has never been viewed by the public - until now. Presented as part of the worldwide Dylan Thomas centennial celebration (in 2014), it featured an all-Welsh cast: Michael Sheen, Kate Burton, Karl Johnson, Mark Lewis Jones, Francine Morgan and Matthew Aubrey. In addition to directing the 2014 performance, Sheen read the part of “First Voice,” the play’s narrator and a part Thomas himself read in the 1953 premiere. In another nod to the great poet, Sheen wore a bowtie, which was Thomas’ signature style. For Sheen, well-known for his roles in Frost/Nixon, The Queen Masters of Sex and Prodigal Son, among others, it was a unique opportunity. He said in 2014: “It’s a real honor and an absolute thrill to be able to perform Under Milk Wood in this very special year and on the stage that it first found its voice,” he said. “And the live radio broadcast is an opportunity to celebrate him and his work in both New York-a city that became so important to Dylan-and, at the same time, in Wales, his inspiration and home.”

“Not here.”
