All of those discussed below are set to go on sale to the public on Thursday, 9 November, while some will also have a trialled 6.30pm start time.
Further details have been revealed for Nye, a new play by Tim Price, directed by Rufus Norris and running in the Olivier Theatre. Delving into the life of Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan, Michael Sheen will lead a cast also composed of Remy Beasley, Roger Evans, Jon Furlong, Stephanie Jacob, Kezrena James, Tony Jayawardena, Rebecca Killick, Rhodri Meilir and Sharon Small.
The set designer is Vicki Mortimer, costume designer Kinnetia Isidore, lighting designer Paule Constable, co-choreographers Steven Hoggett and Jess Williams, composer Will Stuart, sound designer Donato Wharton, projection designer Jon Driscoll and casting director Alastair Coomer CDG.

A play charting the life of Nye Bevan and his battle to create the NHS is among 12 new productions that have been announced by the National Theatre.
Nye, by Tim Price, was described by the National as a “Welsh fantasia [that] is both epic and deeply personal”. It will star Michael Sheen and be directed by Rufus Norris, the National’s artistic director who’s stepping down in 2025.
“After the turmoil of recent years, we all appreciate how vital the NHS is,” said Norris. The play would “illuminate the life of its founder and celebrate its centrality within British life”.
Bevan, a miner’s son from south Wales, was the architect of the 1948 National Health Service Act that allowed people access to medical diagnosis and treatment, free at the point of use. The creation of the NHS is considered the most significant reform in the history of the Labour party.
Nye will open in February 2024.
