An all star cast unite to perform a distinctive BBC Wales Television adaptation of Dylan Thomas's radio play, presented in collaboration with National Theatre Wales, to mark the centenary of Dylan Thomas' birth. The plot reveals the innermost thoughts of the residents of the small, Welsh fishing village Llareggub as it delves into the dreams of various townspeople including blind sailor Captain Cat, who is haunted by visions of drowned shipmates, Mog Edwards and Myfanwy Price, who dream of each other, and Mrs. Ogmore Pritchard, who dreams of her former husbands.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Llareggub is 'bugger all' backwards — Dylan Thomas was apparently twelve years old and a genius.
This 2014 version reunited Welsh acting royalty for Thomas's centenary; the original 1954 radio premiere starred Richard Burton.
