Radio Platfform interview with Michael Sheen

A brilliant, well-researched interview with Michael Sheen by Laurie from youth-led Welsh radio station Radio Platfform @radioplatfform.

Michael speaks passionately about his play Nye, including how he felt when the play moved to the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff for its second run, the importance of telling the extraordinary story of Aneurin Bevan, how Michael came to the role, what the NHS means to him, representation and telling Welsh stories, ensuring the pathways that existed for Michael are still available, and why everyone’s voice is important in the national conversation.

There are insights about the song sang throughout the play: Gwahoddiad – also known as “I Am Coming, Lord”, Nye’s stutter and voice, lines in the play that resonate the most for Michael, and the representation of Winston Churchill in the play. Michael also provides some fantastic words of advice on why you must always #FollowYourBliss.
