Под сенью млечного леса
Nogood Boyo
Экранизация произведений знаменитого английского поэта Дилана Томаса. История о жизни приморской деревушки в Уэллсе и ее жителей, показанная с яркой наблюдательностью и бойким английским юмором.Радиопьеса "Под сенью молочного леса", считается одной из вершин творчества Дилана Томаса, одиного из крупнейших британских поэтов XX века. Можно сказать, что сюжет пьесы - хроника одного дня жизни приморской деревушки, подобной той, в которой жил сам поэт. Но эта хроника далека от сурового реализма, она больше похожа на сказку, рассказанную поэтом, влюбленным в этот край, в этих простых людей с их заботами, привязанностями, слабостями и глупостями. Два незнакомца (а в радиопьесе это просто Первый голос и Второй голос) идут по городу и рассказывают о его жителях. Вот старый, слепой капитан, который по ночам беседует с утонувшими моряками, а утром узнает по голосу каждого ученика соседней школы.
