Spent the past couple of days listening to the audio of Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood- a story about a day in the life of the inhabitants of the small Welsh seaside village of Llareggub
Richard Burton was narrating this “play for voices” and it was a delight to let his deep Welsh tones and the language wash over me as I listened to the snippets of people’s lives and snatches of their conversation that the play is all about. Realism at its finest.
Would normally spend Good Friday listening to the Jesus Christ Super Star album. Twenty/twenty Good Friday I listened to Jeff Wayne’s 1978 original War of the Worlds.
War of the Worlds Album Cover
This original version included Richard Burton as narrator (journalist). Also Justin Hayward, David Essex (artillery man), Phil Lynott (Parson Nathanial) Julie Covington (Beth).
Give it a go if you don’t know it. I was blown away!
