Stage | The Guardian: Since Thornton Wilder wrote Our Town in 1938, it is said that not a day has passed when the Pulitzer prize-winning show hasn’t been performed. “Every time I read it, I come away with the feeling of having been woken up,” says Michael Sheen, star of the upcoming touring production of Wilder’s play about a close-knit community in small-town America. “With this urgent sense of ‘I have to not waste this.’”

Michael Sheen is such a great comedic actor. I have watched a lot of his work from Good Omens to Staged and I have loved every minute of it. I love when popular performers take change into their own hands and support their community. It shows how good of a person Micheal Sheen is in the fact that he is committed to building a new space where theater makers of Wales can come together and put on performances in the name of their country. Having seen Our Town I think that it will prove to be a positive first show for the company; it is a relatable show about community and what it means to be a part of one. With Russell T Davies on the creative team the production is sure to be an amazing experience. If I could I would love to be there opening day as a new theater is opened to the public. Opening night is sure to be a historical moment and those who attend will be able to boast about being there years down the line.
