admin MOVIE star Michael Sheen is determined to put his home county on the map in more ways than one.
He is coming home this spring to direct and star in Passions, an ambitious reworking of Port Talbot’s traditional passion play.
It will be performed continuously at various locations over the Easter weekend, with the town and its people playing vital roles.
Now the production team is calling on schools and community groups across the county to piece together an important prop — a giant blanket.
“I want to encourage the community to get involved with Passion,” said Michael.
Passions will be brought to life by Michael, the National Theatre Wales and the Wildworks theatrical company.
