Michael Sheen, Matthew Rhys, Ruth Jones and Rob Brydon are among the stars who will join Sir Ian in the non-stop reading of Dylan Thomas’s work says South Wales Evening Post. The programme includes all of Thomas’s popular short stories, poems and broadcasts and, of course, Under Milk Wood.
The reading marathon will be held at Swansea’s Grand Theatre, Wales, from 11 am 26 October to 11 pm 27 October, 2014. Proceeds from the event will go the The Prince’s Foundation for Children and the Arts. Tickets are available for three hours, a day or the whole weekend.
