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).

Micheal's ability to make his own personality vanish when he's playing a character is phenomenal

[lewisoliverleo]

Absolutely love when Michael Sheen is just being a weird little guy

[chrisarcher]

The greatest Briton of all time. I thank you posthumously, Nye, for every life you saved.

Crowley, I found him. He's at the theater again

MICHAEL! I wish I could see this! He’s phenomenal!

[mariacerda]

Such a wonderful trailer and Michael you will always remain the king of micro expressions!

[tigristhelynx]

YESSSS! Love how you can do Nye's mannerisms even when confined to a bed. 😊See you on the big screen in late May, Michael! SO excited!

It felt like I was watching a clip of Mr Bevan himself for a moment! I can't wait for this.

Michael Sheen at his finest 👏👏👏so looking forward to seeing Nye in March ❤💙

What a triumph to mark NTLive 100.
I sincerely hope it goes to wider platforms. It deserves to be seen by as many British voters as possible; in fact, that’d be a vital public service. ❤ @National Theatre

[aridamato]

Great trailer, I’m already hooked! 🔥 See you in March Mr. Sheen 💙

[mwaawm]

There should be statues honouring Nye Up and down the land.

[leahstockport]

Saw Nye last night. Absolutely phenomenal❤️

[pmlm]

Absolutely dazzling. Sheen never disappoints in his ability to articulate nuances of human depth; and it always comes with charisma and twinkles in his eyes. More importantly, how the play strings so many facets of Nye’s life story together was absolutely ingenious. Such an important story told right.

I sincerely hope it goes to wider platforms. It deserves to be seen by as many British voters as possible; in fact, that’d be a vital public service. ❤

This man is phenomenal, I cannot wait to see it!

[TomMayhew]

Saw this last night, and it was brilliant. Would love to seem them make some sort of film adaptation, Nye Bevan's life should be celebrated far more.
