The National Theatre Will Stream Michael Sheen's 'Nye' for Free This November
Some of the biggest performers in the world regularly take to the stage in London's West End, and the city's booming, vibrant theater scene can often leave American Anglophiles feeling a bit left out when it comes to seeing their favorite British actors perform live. At the moment, three major Doctor Who stars are currently gearing up to lead Fall productions, and popular actors like Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), and Rosamund Pike (Saltburn) are all slated to headline various shows next year.
But there's good news for those who missed out on seeing Michael Sheen's (A Very Royal Scandal) performance in last summer's National Theatre production of Nye. The National Theater will be making the full production available to stream on YouTube for a long weekend in November ahead of what would have been Aneurin Bevan's 127th birthday.
The latest play from Tim Price, Nye explores the life of the beloved Labour politician who spearheaded the creation of Britain’s National Health Service. It played to sold-out crowds in London and Cardiff earlier this year, and was so popular, it will be reprised again next summer in both locations with the original cast.
