Michael Sheen (Good Omens) 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 was filmed live from the National Theatre.

“Michael Sheen is a terrifically engaging Bevan, his busy brain and steely tenacity swathed in twinkling charm.”
– Sam Marlowe, THE STAGE -
“Passionate, burning with excitement, joy, despair and fury, with a firebrand style that perfectly suits its subject matter.”
– Paul T Davies, BRITISHTHEATRE -
“A play about principle, passion and compassion, driven by a fantastic ensemble and an electrifying performance from Sheen. Even in his pink pyjamas, his Bevan has a stature that throws down a gauntlet to today’s politicians across the river Thames.”
– Sarah Hemming, THE TELEGRAPH
