Under Milk Wood

Under Milk Wood is said to be Dylan Thomas's best known work. It is his only play and contains over sixty fantastic characters who display every emotion, dream and fantasy in the course of a one day cycle. This classic modern pastoral is set in a small Welsh seaside town called Llareggub where the colourful occupants love, hate, gossip, dream, fantasise........ just like in any small town....... like your town........

Now this wonderful fantasy has been brought to life in a new collection of powerful paintings by Tony Todd With a style that has been likened to that of Beryl Cook and Anthony Green R.A., Tony's insightful interpretations of Dylan Thomas's enduring Welsh characters and personalities colourfully capture on canvas the longing, desire, venomous hatred and prim conformity that have become synonymous with the small fictitious fishing village of Llareggub. The paintings burst with the vibrant detail and mischievous humour characteristic of Tony's work, which is perfectly matched with the sinuous dream-reality progress of Dylan's town through its day.

Despite the lasting popularity of Under Milk Wood, Tony Todd's series of paintings is one of only a very few visual interpretations that exist of the work. It is almost certainly the largest and most vivid collection available today. Viewers will be captivated when they come face to face with the larger than life characters which they think they know so well.
