I couldn’t see a thread along these lines so thought I’d start one (not that I go tho the theatre that often).
I recently saw Michael Sheen portraying Aneurin Bevan in Nye at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff.
Firstly, although I’d been outside it a few times (you can actually see its roof from some parts of WsM on a clear day) I’d never been inside before.
It’s a magnificent venue.
The play itself has as its starting point Bevan being in hospital towards the end of his life thinking back over it through a surreal dream.
It focuses on his childhood, his time as a miner and union official, his personal relationships and of course him being an MP.
His integral involvement with the creation of the NHS in 1948 is, unsurprisingly, the centrepiece of the story.
2 hours and 40 minutes long, Michael Sheen is on stage for every minute and put in a brilliant performance.
All this and in a good seat for 19 quid each.
Bargain.
And cheaper than watching City!
