Nye

From campaigning at the coalfield to leading the battle to create the NHS, Nye Bevan is often referred to as the politician who had the greatest influence on Great Britain without ever being Prime Minister.

Written by Tim Price (Teh Internet is Serious Business) and directed by National Theatre's creative director Rufus Norris (Small Island), the play sees Nye confronted with death and looking back on his life. His deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey back through his busy life; from childhood to mining underground, Parliament and fights with Churchill.

Returning to the National Theatre after making its debut on the Olivier Theatre stage in 2024, theatergoers can look forward to a surreal and spectacular production about one of the most influential Britons of the 20th Century.
