‘Twilight’ actor to feature in production of ‘Our Town’ at Kingston’s Rose Theatre
By Tilly O'Brien 17th Feb 2026
Internationally acclaimed actor Michael Sheen, who has featured in various screen productions including The Twilight Saga, is set to take centre stage in a Rose Theatre and Welsh National Theatre co‑production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town.
The production, which has been directed by Francessca Goodridge, will run at Kingston's Rose Theatre from Thursday 26 February – Saturday, 28 March.
The production's description reads: "Grover's Corners is a quiet little town, full of ordinary folk, living everyday lives. They work, they laugh, they sing, they fall in love and raise their children and grow old.
"But within those moments of ordinary, everyday life, there are truths that reach out to us all. And a passionate demand to cherish every moment, right now, while we still can.
"Our Town is American playwright Thornton Wilder's masterpiece, and this new production — starring internationally celebrated actor Michael Sheen — sees the story through a Welsh lens, bringing new life and vivid resonance for modern audiences."
