Yahoo News Michael Sheen's NHS drama will be streaming for free
Nye, the stage play starring Michael Sheen, will stream for free online for a limited time later this year.
The production sees Sheen - best known for his roles in Good Omens and The Queen - playing Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan, the Welsh politician who is largely credited with the founding of the National Health Service in the UK.
"Confronted with death, Nye's deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey back through his life, from childhood to mining underground, Parliament and fights with Churchill in an epic Welsh fantasia," reads the logline for the play (via National Theatre).

Following its stint on the stage, fans of Sheen or theatre in general will be able to watch Nye for free on the National Theatre's YouTube channel for five days in November, with the stream being made available at 7pm on November 7 and leaving the platform on November 11.
It will also be available to view with Audio Description and British Sign Language.
Written by Tim Price and directed by Rufus Norris, Nye is described as a "celebration of the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain's welfare state", with Sheen's performance receiving wide acclaim.
Sheen, who has also appeared in A Very Royal Scandal, recently spoke about the upcoming third and final season of Good Omens, sharing that it would be a satisfactory ending for fans.

"It's still in development, but obviously I'm very excited to work with David [Tennant] again, and I love that character. I'm very excited about it," he said. "One of the extraordinary things about being a part of [Good Omens] is the audience, the fans, the fandom of it.
"You have to take it very seriously because people get really affected by it. And seeing how people reacted to the end of season two was extraordinary. So yeah, I hope, and I'm sure, that season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone."
Nye will stream on YouTube in November. Good Omens seasons 1-2 are streaming now on Prime Video.
