A new play by Tim Price
Theatre Screening
An NCPA-National Theatre Live (London) Presentation
Michael Sheen plays Aneurin ‘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, Bevan is often referred to as the politician with the greatest influence over the UK without ever being Prime Minister.
In Nye, confronted with death, Bevan’s deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey through his life; from childhood to mining underground, the Parliament and fights with Churchill.
Written by Tim Price and directed by Rufus Norris (Small Island), this epic is a new Welsh fantasia.
