A Child’s Christmas in Wales will be performed on Dec. 23 and 24

On the night before Christmas (and on the 23rd), carols and stories could be heard through Victoria.

Born and raised in South Wales, narrator Jones brings the tale to life. A Child’s Christmas in Wales was originally written for BBC Radio by poet Dylan Thomas, and recorded in 1952.
