Screenwriter and playwright Tim Price unveils his new play at the National Theatre, with doors opening this February.
Titled 'Nye', it follows one man’s dream of the NHS. Starting tomorrow on Saturday, 24 February, it runs until Saturday, 11 May.
Tim joined the Centre for New Writing in 2015 and teaches on our Screenwriting MA.
