Well, sort of.<\/p>\n<p>When the Welsh actor appeared on the Kally and Josh show on Capital South Wales, he was set a task \u2013 to interpret the lyrics to Raye\u2019s song \u201cWhere Is My Husband?\u2019 in hsi own inimitable style.<\/p>\n<p>To say it\u2019s incredible is an understatement. The Welshman doesn\u2019t just read the lyrics, he treats them as the words to a performance of great drama at the National Theatre, much to the joy of the radio presenters who are enraptured his uproarious take on the BRIT Award-winning singer\u2019s hit song.<\/p>\n<p>Watch and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Sheen\u2019s appearance on the radio show came as tickets went on sale for the epic new play, Owain &amp; Henry, the Welsh National Theatre and Wales Millennium Centre co-production.<\/p>\n<p>The actor, artistic director of the English language Welsh National Theatre, will collaborate with the celebrated artist, director and artistic director of Theatr Cymru Steffan Donnelly to co-direct the November 2026 play, alongside north-Walian director Hannah Noone.<\/p>\n<p>To mark the occasion, footage of an exclusive extract of Michael Sheen as Owain Glynd\u0175r was released on the theatre\u2019s social channels, a three-minute monologue about the \u2018hotch-potch of peoples\u2019 who \u2018became England\u2019 that resonates as much today as it would have done in 1400.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Sheen said: \u201cThe speech shared today is set to be delivered on Europe\u2019s second largest stage twelve months from now. I\u2019m thrilled by that fact and can\u2019t wait to share that moment with packed houses at Wales Millennium Centre. It gives me goosebumps to even think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael gained early acclaim in Romeo and Juliet\u00a0and\u00a0Amadeus, earning multiple Olivier Award nominations.\u00a0In 2011, he co-directed and starred in The Passion, a 72-hour performance in his hometown of Port Talbot. As founder and Artistic Director of the Welsh National Theatre, his aims are to champion bold storytelling, ambitious plays and give Welsh talent a pathway to and platform on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>Michael continued: \u201cWhen the idea for Welsh National Theatre was formulating, Steffan Donnelly was one of the first people I wanted to talk to. As artistic director of our Welsh language national theatre, Theatr Cymru, I sought his counsel and his confidence for this vision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo work alongside Steff \u2013 and the brilliant Hannah Noone \u2013 is a strong message about a bold, bilingual nation that works together to elevate all of our stories. I\u2019m excited by what\u2019s to come and I think audiences should be too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further creative and cast announcements will follow in due course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wmc.org.uk\/owain+henry\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tickets for the Welsh National Theatre and Wales Millennium Centre co-production are on general sale now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>                                Support our Nation today<\/p>\n<p>For the price of a cup of coffee a month you can help us create an<br \/>\n                                    independent, not-for-profit, national news service for the people of Wales, by<br \/>\n                                        the people of Wales.\n                                <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Sheen appearing on the Kally and Josh show on Capital Radio South Wales.
