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.

I suppose I should tell you that last week I saw Nye and got to meet Michael Sheen at the Stage Door.

First off - yes, he is a literal angel. I can see why Neil Gaiman has said this and casted him the way he did. Does he have to do Stage Door, night after night? No. But he does, and with so much kindness.

For example, after he had spoken with each and every one of us, given each person the full light of his attention (there were about 30-40 people there that night) he scanned the crowd to be truly sure everyone had had their moment before walking off into the street.

But the moment I want to tell you about is this. After being mortified by a friend telling MS about my Aziraphale cosplay (the cosplay wasn't that great and I was trying to play it cool about the GO obsession geeeeez), I watched as MS lifted his hand and lightly touched the beige blazer I was wearing.

"Well this is a very Aziraphale colour," he said to me he said.

I still haven't recovered.

I met my hero on Saturday after getting the chance to watch him perform in this fantastic play. MS is literally the only person on earth I'd go to such lengths to meet and he's the only celebrity I'd ever want an autograph from or an interaction with. So grateful to this wonderful man for giving me one of the very best experiences of my life 💜

MS is every bit as lovely as everyone says. He's a goddamn delight and so gracious with his flustered fans. He smells divine too 🤭

Just out of curiosity I checked my Fitbit stats for that magical night. You can literally see the spikes ... The pre-show anticipation, the moment he came out on stage and the moment around midnight when he was at the stage door. Be still my heart 😊

Just look at him! 😭

Their stories about it are EVERYTHING.

And Michael is a real angel. Perfect perfect man.

They say love the actor not the person, but in this case I make an exception.

This. Will. Happen.

I will die on this hill ♥️🔥✨

As disappointed as I am in the decision Amazon/Prime has made, I still have hope of watching Crowley and Aziraphale grow old together in their South Downs cottage. 🏡

Tonight is press night for Macbeth, and Michael is sitting in the second row beaming at David as proud as can be. The two of them looking at each other like that is everything...

CW: jokey mention of SA by a chocolate bar, literally first thing

Keep in mind that I heard the contextless callback from the podcast first and in the US, a Yorkie is this😳🫣😅😂:

So I had to subscribe to the podcast to find out what they were talking about 😅🙃

Unrelatedly, if anyone knows of an website or app (not tiktok or IG) where I can easily add completely accurate or editable subtitles, please tell me. The ones on this video originally had major errors and my method was time intensive and annoying, so I ran out of steam. Also I’m hard of hearing myself, so I often can’t catch what’s being said when there’s a lot of noise. Sorry for the imperfections!

Please do not repost without asking first!
