Michael Sheen takes on director duties at top U.K. theatre company

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Actor Michael Sheen is all set to don the director's cap at the National Theatre of his native Wales.

The 40-year-old Sheen will act as creative director for a modern take on the Passion Plays, which will be enacted next year.

The Frost/Nixon star personally contacted the company's artistic director to be a part of the play in Port Talbot, Wales and is obviously overjoyed.

"It is an honour to be a part of National Theatre Wales. I am both excited and terrified about this project, which I suppose is the perfect state of mind to approach it in. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work in and with my hometown and to see what we can achieve together," the Daily Express quoted Sheen, as saying. (ANI)
