Abstract

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 the 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 to mining underground, Parliament and fights with Churchill in an epic Welsh fantasia. Tim Price's surreal and spectacular journey through the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain´s welfare state premiered at the National Theatre starring Michael Sheen as Nye Bevan. This edition was published to coincide with the original production in February 2023.
