Last night, the Caffeine Theatre in association with the Chicago DCA Theater opened Dylan Thomas' 'Under Milk Wood' at the Storefront Theater. Thomas' dark 'Day in the Life' comedy about the fictional Welch town of 'Llareggub' explores the theme of isolation in an ever shrinking world, while still celebrating the glorious possibilities humanity offers. First broadcast in 1954 as a radio play, Director Paul S. Holmquist and a cast of nine bring to life over forty characters through fetes of physicality and a mastery of Thomas' language.
