Burton play brings star back to the Welsh stage
Western Mail
|September 26, 2025
EMMY Award-winner Matthew Rhys will make an explosive return to the Welsh stage this November for the first time in 22 years in an acclaimed one-man play about Richard Burton.
Michael Sheen
The star, who is about to be seen in Netflix’s The Beast in Me opposite Clare Danes, will take on the role of Wales’ iconic Hollywood star in Playing Burton, to raise funds for Michael Sheen's new Welsh National Theatre.
With RB100 - the Richard Burton celebrations marking a centenary since the iconic actor's birth - ongoing, Rhys is coming back to Wales from his US home for a series of shows across the nation, culminating in a special performance in Bethel Chapel Cafe in Burton’s birthplace, Pontrhydyfen, to close the centenary celebrations.
The performances of Playing Burton, written by Mark Jenkins and directed by Tony Award-winning director Bartlett Sher, will exclusively visit Welsh venues this November, including Swansea Grand Theatre and National Museum Cardiff.
