Under Smoke City: Passage Index

Welcome to the second draft of Under Smoke City, a steampunk piece heavily based on Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood with the aim of reproducing the rhythms of the much loved original but with a different story and spin in the finished product. I'm actually using The Definitive Version published by Orion Publishing (ISBN09780753810491) as my source text but I diverge rather swiftly after the first voice's part makes way for the other characters. The first draft was originally posted on a Patreon page, starting in October 2017.

I've also included links to the few apocrypha* at the bottom of the page, but these are accessible to supporters only.
