ROCKLAND — The Strand Theatre will screen a National Theatre Live captured-live stage production of Nye on Thursday, June 13, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Michael Sheen plays Nye Bevan in a surreal and spectacular journey through the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state.

From campaigning at the coalfield to leading the battle to create the National Health Service, Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan is often referred to as the politician with greatest influence over the UK without ever being Prime Minister. Confronted 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.

Written by Tim Price and directed by Rufus Norris (Small Island), this epic new Welsh production will be filmed live at the National Theatre in London.

This production is rated PG-13. Running time is 2 hours 40 minutes, including one intermission.

Tickets are $15/General Admission, $12/Strand Members, and are available at the Strand website at www.RocklandStrand.com or at the door 30 minutes prior to show time.

The Strand Theatre is located at 345 Main St., Rockland.
