National Theatre Live: Nye

The Quarry Theatre at St. Luke’s

The Quarry poster of National Theatre Tim Price in 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 was recorded live from the National Theatre and is presented as an ‘Encore’ performance.

Suitable for 15+ years

Tickets £15
