CNW鈥檚 Tim Price unveils new play at National Theatre
Centre for New Writing鈥檚 Tim Price opens his new play, 鈥楴ye鈥�, this February at the National Theatre.
Screenwriter and playwright Tim Price unveils his new play at the National Theatre, with doors opening this February.
Titled 'Nye', it follows one man鈥檚 dream of the NHS. Starting tomorrow on Saturday, 24 February, it runs until Saturday, 11 May.
Tim joined the Centre for New Writing in 2015 and teaches on our Screenwriting MA.
Here's an extract from the National Theatre website all about 'Nye':
From campaigning at the coalfield to leading the battle to create the NHS, Aneurin 鈥楴ye鈥� Bevan is often referred to as the politician with greatest influence on our country without ever being Prime Minister.
Confronted with death, Nye鈥檚 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.
Michael Sheen (Under Milk Wood) is Nye Bevan in this surreal and spectacular journey through the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain鈥檚 welfare state. It鈥檚 written by Tim Price (Teh Internet is Serious Business) and directed by Rufus Norris (Small Island).
When asked about the upcoming play, Tim said:
This play is the culmination of over 10 years鈥� work. It鈥檚 a story I鈥檓 really proud to tell at a crucial moment for the NHS today.
