Nye | Official Trailer | National Theatre

One man’s dream of the NHS. From campaigning at the coalfield to leading the battle to create the NHS, Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan is often referred to as the politician with greatest influence on our country 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. Michael Sheen (Under Milk Wood) is Nye Bevan in this surreal and spectacular journey through the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state. It’s written by Tim Price (Teh Internet is Serious Business) and directed by Rufus Norris (Small Island). -- Subscribe on YouTube: Sign up to our monthly newsletter: National Theatre TikTok: @nationaltheatre National Theatre Twitter: National Theatre Facebook: National Theatre Instagram: National Theatre Live Twitter: National Theatre Live Facebook: -- At the National Theatre in London, we make world-class theatre that is entertaining, challenging and inspiring.
