About the Show

Thornton Wilder’s play is reimagined, led by Michael Sheen in a moving new production.

Our Town is a poignant and timeless exploration of everyday life, love, and loss, told through the lens of a small community. In this fresh reimagining set in Wales and starring acclaimed actor Michael Sheen, Thornton Wilder’s classic play reveals the profound beauty hidden in ordinary routines—working, loving, growing older—and invites us to appreciate the fleeting moments we often overlook. With quiet power and emotional depth, the production asks us to pause, reflect, and truly value the time we’re given.

"This is a stunning beginning for the Welsh National Theatre and testimony to the power of a generation of Welsh actors. Let us hope they make the journey into England regularly, in addition to their vital work in Wales."

"Our Town was never really about Grover’s Corners, USA. It’s about life, in the most universal sense. And this production captures that expertly."
