EVENING PERFORMANCES START AT 8PM

UNDER MILK WOOD. April 21-30, 2023
By Dylan Thomas, directed by Joan Bryans

“A dazzling combination of poetic fireworks and music hall humour.”
Welcome to a tiny village where the inhabitants seem all a bit eccentric if not quite mad! Yet the more we follow them through the day, the more we come to identify with them if not love them.  More than anything , Thomas reminds us of what it is to be human in all its glorious, intricate complexity.  As one critic wrote
“It would be hard for any work of art to communicate more directly and funnily and lovingly what it is like to be alive.”

Written and directed by Lee Jay Bamberry

Rhoda, the unsuspecting lady hero is on her way to the train station to collect her husband, or so she thinks. With a touch of cosmic absurdity Rhoda encounters a series of endearing characters on their way to the County Fair, or so she thinks. They all seem to know her and honour her accordingly as she struggles to connect the dots trying to make sense of everything that is unfolding. This timeless tale is spun with comedy and heartfelt moments all pointing to the mystery of who Rhoda really is, where she is going, and what is going to happen next? As a “touching comedy” that offers pause for thought about death, dementia, and our true heroes of yesteryear, Shalem’s Fair is a real place especially in the minds of those who believe in the miraculous.

Feydeau’s classic farce involving a complex series of mistaken identities, clandestine assignations and misplaced but explosive jealousies, all happening at breakneck speed. The update by

Ives into the twentieth century serves to heighten the sexual allusions which make the play so hilarious.
