Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Theatre_Wales and https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y8yw3j47qo 9 January 2025 "Hollywood actor Michael Sheen is funding a new theatre company to fill the gap left by the folding of National Theatre Wales.

He will be the artistic director of Welsh National Theatre, which will aim to tell "big stories on big stages for big audiences".

The first production, due in autumn 2026 and starring Sheen himself, will be announced in the coming months.

National Theatre Wales said it had "ceased to exist" last month after £1.6m in cuts to its core funding from Arts Council Wales. Sheen said he was putting "everything behind" the venture, which would have "Welsh theatre makers, Welsh stories and Welsh actors" at the heart of the company.

The company is seeking private and public funding, but Sheen said self-financing it initially would allow it to stand "on its own two feet".

"I want it to be something that represents the rich culture that we are and always have been in this country," he said."

"National Theatre Wales (NTW) was a charity and theatre company based in Wales. It was established in 2009, but following the cessation of funding in April 2024, it closed in December 2024."
