The Môr the Merrier
by Abi Haywood
‘The Môr the Merrier’ is a radio play Inspired by 1950s radio dramas in the tradition of Samuel Beckett and Dylan Thomas. I was brought up in a small, sleepy west Wales village in Ceredigion not far from Laugharne where Thomas grew up. The characters are based off people in my town as I realised upon re-listening to Undermilk wood how many people I know with the same names as the characters, even couples with the same set of names.TMTM is loosely based off Dylan Thomas’ 1954 play ‘Undermilk Wood’, a play in which an omniscient narrator invites the audience to listen to the dreams and innermost thoughts of the inhabitants of the fictional small Welsh fishing village, Llareggub - Bugger all spelt backwards[1]. TMTM is set in the town of Ffogob - Bog off spelled backwards.It is imagined as a 21st century Llaregub. Both names work linguistically as Welsh town names, Like real places such as Llandudno or Llangranog and Ffostra
