Filmed live at the National Theatre, and screened in Ullapool as part of NT Live.  

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 has been a box office hit at the National Theatre. 

Screening will start at 7pm (no latecomers will be admitted). There will be two brief intervals during the play.
