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."

Also among the cast are:

  • Rithvik Andugula as Howie Newsome
  • Peter Devlin as George Gibbs
  • Aisha-May Hunte as Wally Webb
  • Rebecca Killick as Rebecca Gibbs
  • Alfie Lewellyn as Joe & Si Crowell
  • Rhodri Melir as Mr. Webb
  • Christina Modestou as Mrs. Soames
  • Kimberly Noble as Ensemble
  • Yasmin Ozdemir as Emily Webb
  • Sian Reese-Williams as Mrs. Gibbs
  • Nia Roberts as Mrs. Webb
  • Kingdom Sibanda as Sam Craig
  • Gareth Snook as Professor Willard & Joe Stoddard
  • Gareth Tempest as Ensemble
  • Jams Thomas as Constable Warren
  • Matthew Revannion as Dr. Gibbs
  • Rhys Warrington as Simon Simson
