Under Milk Wood

fecund theatre first performed their bold contemporary version of Under Milk Wood in 2002, making Time Out Critics’ Choice. They are now returning for a national tour of this sensational production.

fecund use an exciting and innovative performance style; part stand-up, part theatre, part gig. 3 actors and a rich soundtrack combine to create a performance that excites and provokes in its theatrical celebration of the wonderful comedy and soulful lament captured in Thomas’s magnificent text.
