I have just spent the best part of an hour listening to my favourite radio play. This is the definitive version of one of Britain's most important plays. The gentleness, the love that Dylan Thomas poured into this and that Burton added has created nothing more than a national treasure. It's so much more than just a play or a poem. I could wax lyrical about this all day and every compliment would be inadequate testament to this work of art. The Rev. Eli Jenkins soliloquy (video 2, 11 minutes in) on his hometown is worth the admission money alone. Perfection.
