Michael Sheen plays Nye
Bevan in a surreal and spectacular journey through the life and legacy of
the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state.
From campaigning at the coalfield to leading the battle to create
the National Health Service, Aneurin
‘Nye’ Bevan is often referred to as the politician with greatest influence
over the UK without ever being Prime Minister. Confronted with death, Aneurin
‘Nye’ Bevan’s deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey back through
his life; from childhood to mining underground, Parliament and fights with
Churchill. Written by Tim Price and
directed by Rufus Norris (Small
Island), this epic new Welsh fantasia will be filmed live at the National
Theatre in London. (160 mins)
