Under Milk Wood, 22-24 and 28-29 June 2023,

Brighton Open Air Theatre - The New Inn, Hurstpierpoint

A community is sleeping. Only we can see them - if you listen closely, you can hear their dreams…

A blind sea captain yearns for his lost love, sailing the oceans of his youth, a landlady is in terror of guests, two passionate shopkeepers relish unrequited lust, the landlord, milkman, postman, fancy woman, layabout, optimistic elderly, blossoming youth and an entire town full of colourful characters are here… The tumble of Dylan Thomas’ characters awake to a crystal spring day, the small Welsh village comes to life in this rich, funny, sentimental glimpse at a lost way of life.

as night fell on the village" - "Not to be missed!" - Emails to the Company

▶︎ "This beautifully-blocked procession of a town... This is an exciting production. outdoors and adding a new dimension to our

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SHOW - Fringe Review

▶︎ In action: Identity with their class act Under Milk Wood. A completely rapt full house here - Live audience tweet

▶︎ "Under milk wood was great last night! Really enjoyed it. As a big fan of the text I was amazed / you should be very proud -

great pace too. Congrats and I look forward to seeing more from you folk." - Audience feedback

▶︎ "A canonic piece of literature by an acclaimed author and a poetic “play for words” all about dreams and poetry may seem

     intimidating - but Identity’s company manage to lure everyone in with their command and control of the beautiful language allowed
     it to wash over the entranced audience in a dream like state. The outdoors setting is just magical - as the sun sets in the play,
     so does the actual sun. The 13-strong cast give full bodied and hearty performances, with sad moving moments contrasted with
     uplifting raucous folk singing at the pub; what more could you ask for while sitting outside in glorious weather!"
