Performance interpreted in British sign language
A play for voices is now a dance for words. Explosive Dance. Physical Theatre. Classical Ballet.
Dylan Thomas produced a work of enduring brilliance with his play for voices "Under Milkwood". Richard Burton added to the legacy with a classic recording that resonates even today.

Now Independent Ballet Wales invites you to listen in on the innermost thoughts and dreams of the people of Llareggub.

Interpreting in dance, ballet and innovative physical theatre the classic play with all its dark humor, vivid characters and visionary language.

Join Mrs. Ogmore-Pritchard, relentlessly bossing her two dead husbands, or Captain Cat reliving his seafaring times. Watch Organ Morgan, obsessed with his music and Polly Garter pining for her dead lover.

Enter the bible black village and swim in the fishing boat bobbing sea.
