About the Play:
One Man’s Dream of the NHS tells the extraordinary story of Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan, the Welsh politician who, though never Prime Minister, is widely regarded as the person who had the greatest influence on shaping modern Britain through his role in founding the NHS.
Confronted with death, Nye's memories take him on a surreal journey back through his life—tracing his childhood, his time working in the mines, his tenure in Parliament, and his fierce battles with Churchill. This powerful piece weaves together a poignant Welsh fantasia, celebrating the life and legacy of the man who transformed the nation’s welfare state.
Featuring Michael Sheen as Nye Bevan:
Michael Sheen (Under Milk Wood) reprises his acclaimed role as Nye Bevan in this ‘valiant and valuable affirmation of the NHS’ (★★★★ Telegraph). Written by Tim Price (The Internet is Serious Business) and directed by Rufus Norris (Small Island), this production has been described as ‘vividly directed’ (★★★★ Times) and returns to the Olivier Theatre following a sell-out run.
