Red Carpet Preview Screening

Celebrate the 100th NT Live production to hit the big screen and experience the acclaimed Michael Sheen-starring stage play before its release! Check yourself into the moving and passionate examination of Nye Bevan’s life and legacy as the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state and created the NHS.

From campaigning at the coalfield to leading the battle to create the National Health Service, Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan is often referred to as the politician with greatest influence over the UK without ever being Prime Minister. 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 will be filmed live at the National Theatre in London.
