Michael will return to his hometown Port Talbot to lead an epic contemporary revival of the town’s community Passion Play. It used to be staged every year in the town until 1998.

Inspired by a year of story-gathering, poet Owen Sheers will give voice to the town’s tales of redemption, return, and faith in a three-day Easter event with the whole of Port Talbot as cast, crew and set. They will be supported by professional actors, international designers and extraordinary musicians.
