Michael Sheen to star in new UK production of Our Town with Russell T Davies at the helm
This marks the first production from the newly launched Welsh National Theatre, headed up by Sheen.
Whether you're a Welsh person feeling homesick in London, or simply someone with an appreciation of good art and Welsh theatre, we've got some good news for you.
The Rose Theatre in Kingston has just announced a co-production from the newly launched Welsh National Theatre, coming in February and March 2026.
The play in question is Our Town, a Pulitzer prize-winning production by Thornton Wilder. Set in the intimate Welsh village of Grover’s Corners, the play follows the everyday lives of the townspeople and highlights the grand and important truths to be found in ordinary days.
Before heading to the Rose Theatre, Our Town will be going on a Welsh tour, playing at Swansea Grand Theatre from 16th - 31st January 2026, Venue Cymru from 3rd - 7th February 2026, and Theatr Clwyd from 11th - 21st February 2026.
Michael Sheen will be playing the lead role of Stage Manager; however, he isn't the only big name to be featured in this production. Acclaimed screenwriter Russell T Davies is taking up the role of creative associate, alongside director Francesca Goodridge (Nye).
This inaugural production of Michael Sheen’s Welsh National Theatre is filled to the brim with Welsh excellence. Here's how you can get tickets to see it.
