One man’s dream of the NHS, starring Michael Sheen.
From campaigning at the coalfield to leading the battle to create the NHS, Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan is often referred to as the politician who's had the greatest influence on the UK without ever being Prime Minister.
Confronted with death, Nye's deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey back through his life; from childhood to mining underground, Parliament and fights with Churchill in an epic Welsh fantasia.
"A taut and fluid triumph"
Michael Sheen (Good Omens) reprises his role as Nye Bevan in this ‘valiant and valuable affirmation of the NHS’ (★★★★ Telegraph). Written by Tim Price (Teh Internet is Serious Business) and ‘vividly directed’ (★★★★ Times) by Rufus Norris (Small Island), this celebration of the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state returns to Wales Millennium Centre following a sell-out run in 2024.
A National Theatre and Wales Millennium Centre Co-production
"Throughout it all, Sheen burns with genuine passion"
