National Theatre: Nye (Screening)

Presented by NT Live
Michael Sheen as Nye Bevan in front of a turquoise background. There is text reading 'One man's dream of the NHS. Nye, a new play by Tim Price.

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 and created the NHS.

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 broadcast live from the National Theatre.
