National Theatre Live: Nye

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.

National Theatre Live is the ground-breaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre to venues in the UK and internationally. 

With state-of-the-art filming techniques, tailored to each individual play, you can now attend every performance in all its glory. 

This is theatre for everyone.
