Under Milk Wood is a radio drama written by Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas. It was first broadcast on the BBC in 1954, after Thomas's death in 1953. The play is set in the fictional Welsh seaside village of Llareggub (read backward, it spells "bugger all"), and it provides a portrait of the town's inhabitants as they go about their daily lives.

The play is known for its lyrical and poetic language, capturing the dreams, desires, and inner thoughts of the characters. Thomas narrates the play, providing a rich and vivid description of the various residents and their activities, both during the day and at night.

Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) was a Welsh poet and writer, best known for his vivid and highly imaginative poetry. Born in Swansea, Wales, Thomas showed an early interest in literature and began writing poems during his teenage years. His early exposure to the works of poets like Gerard Manley Hopkins and W.B. Yeats influenced his poetic style.

Dylan Thomas led a tumultuous and bohemian lifestyle, marked by heavy drinking and a reputation for being a charismatic and passionate performer during his poetry readings. He spent much of his career in London and the United States. Unfortunately, his life was cut short at the age of 39 when he died in New York City in 1953.
