2025 Revised and Updated Edition
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 and mining underground to Parliament and fights with Churchill, in an epic Welsh fantasia.
Written by Tim Price (Teh Internet is Serious Business), this celebration of the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain's welfare state premiered at the National Theatre in 2024.
This revised and updated edition was published to coincide with the National Theatre and Wales Millennium Centre co-production in July 2025, with Michael Sheen (Under Milk Wood) reprising his role as Nye Bevan.
