SUMMARY:National Theatre Live – Nye
DESCRIPTION:National Theatre Live\nNye\na new play by Tim Price\ndirected by Rufus Norris\n29th & 30th November  7-30pm\n125 minutes Certificate 15\nwritten by Tim Price\ndirected by Rufus Norris\n\n \nMichael 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.\nConfronted 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.\nWritten by Tim Price and directed by Rufus Norris (Small Island), this epic new Welsh fantasia will be broadcast live from the National Theatre.\nConfronted with death following a serious operation, Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan looks back on his life. His mind takes\nhim on a journey from childhood, through his political career campaigning at the coalfields and in the Houses of\nParliament, to his later career as founder of the NHS. The hospital setting and its patients and staff are\ntransformed into fragments from his memories.\nNye remembers his father’s illness as a result of working in the mines, and the lack of affordable doctors. He\nremembers the punishments he endured at school due to his stammer and the friend who stuck up for him.\nVisiting the local library, Nye learns to navigate speech with his stammer by finding synonyms to replace the\nwords he struggles with.\nAs Nye grows older he becomes a great orator, speaking regularly on political issues in local campaign groups.\nHis work eventually takes him to the Houses of Parliament as an MP, and into fights with Prime Minister Winston\nChurchill over his demands for a nationalised Health Service where medical treatment is free to all.\nWhile most doctors and politicians are initially against Nye’s proposal, the tide soon turns and Nye’s battle ends\nin victory. Lying in his hospital bed surrounded by his loved ones, he is proud of the achievements that helped to\nchange a nation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n★★★★\n‘A valiant and valuable affirmation of the NHS’\n\nThe Telegraph\n★★★★\nMichael Sheen burns with passion in NHS origin story\n\nThe Times\n★★★★\nMichael Sheen looks back at the difficult birth of the NHS\n\nThe Guardian \n★★★★\nMichael Sheen is tremendous as NHS founder Aneurin Bevan,\n\nTime Out \n★★★★\nMichael Sheen brings zest to this lumpy story of the founder of the NHS\n\nEvening Standard\nPrevious\nNext\nSaddleworth Film Society welcomes new members and guests.\nAnnual membership costs £55 and includes tickets for all TEN films.
