In addition to well-known recordings of Dylan Thomas reading his own poems, the BBC Sound Archives include a number of less familiar examples of his radio work.
DOUGLAS CLEVERDON draws on these to illustrate Dylan Thomas's mastery of radio techniques - as a storyteller. as a verse-reader, and as a brilliant radio actor (Aristophanes in Louis MacNeice's Enemy of Cant. Satan in Paradise Lost, Pte Dai Evans in David Jones 's In Parenthesis).
