Nye

Nye is a biographical play about Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan, the Welsh politician best known for founding the UK’s National Health Service. Set against the frame of Bevan’s post-operative hallucinations in an NHS hospital bed, the play moves non-linearly through his life, from his working-class childhood in Wales and time as a miner to his early development as an orator and the personal struggles that shaped him, including his stammer.
