Acting marathon to exceed 26 miles? Passion set to break records in sweltering temperatures..?
The wait is nearly over
THE artistic director of National Theatre Wales has said Michael Sheen’s epic play to be performed over Easter weekend will be a “marathon” piece of acting.
In an interview with the Western Mail (Wales, UK), John McGrath said the 72-hour epic 'The Passion' in Port Talbot (Wales, UK) would be the biggest project the company had done.
Based across Sheen’s home town of Port Talbot, it is the final production in the first-year programme of National Theatre Wales.

Mr McGrath said: “It’s a 72-hour show and it’s performed only once. It starts on the Friday afternoon in Port Talbot and over the next three days you will see different episodes unfold all over the town.
“We’ve used Port Talbot as the set for the performance and it is really a performance about the town.

“For the core company, so Michael and the actors who play the equivalent of disciples in this production, they will be performing pretty much for the 72 hours.
“On the first night the character Michael plays and his followers sleep up on the mountain and the second night they will be arrested and held in the town. So for them it is throughout. It will be a marathon piece of acting.”
The play will be a re-telling of the traditional Easter story. As well as co-directing, Bafta-winner Sheen will be playing a kind of modern-day Messiah – a schoolteacher who goes missing from his Port Talbot home.
The drama, which has been developed by Abergavenny-raised writer Owen Sheers, follows the search for him.
Mr McGrath said more than 1,000 people were involved in the production. It's going to be one-off lifetime experience helped by the unseasonally warm temperatures. Everyones geared to go

All ready for some Passion?
A Steel Town With Desire
From time to time strange things happen. From time to time things happen that change things forever. At the moment strange things are happening in Port Talbot. That’s right – Port Talbot. Where? you say..
Port Talbot is a steel town in the country
(Principality) of Wales
in the United Kingdom.
The town boasts a population of around 35,000 during the week and is perched between
the sea and the land; a stones throw away from Cardiff
and a hop skip and a jump from Swansea.
The Principality’s two premier cities with their breathtaking coastlines and 21st
century developments somewhat overshadow Port Talbot’s industrialised demeanor.
Heavy, steel industry defines Port Talbot. Mines are so
last century so I suppose someone has to help prop up the economy. With Cardiff
and Swansea adding the gloss to a
country of just over 3 million it’s left to Port Talbot
to add the sheen, well, to be more precise, Michael Sheen. Prodigal actor
Michael Sheen has returned home just in time for Easter. Or has he? Michael
Sheen is an extremely famous actor, and, just like Richard Burton and Sir Anthony
Hopkins he’s from Port Talbot. Burton
passed away in 1984 and I doubt you’ll ever see Sir Anthony back in Wales
again let alone Port Talbot. Michael Sheen is back in his home town for a very
special reason – to work. Yes that’s right Michael Sheen aka, Tony Blair, David
Frost, Kenneth Williams, Brian Clough and countless others is returning to Port
Talbot to star in The Passion, a unique one-off theatre event that
will be performed continuously at different locations in town of Port Talbot
over the Easter weekend. Michael will be co-directing and starring in ‘The
Passion’ and he will be joined by professional actors from Port
Talbot and neighbouring
Neath for the three-day performance from Good Friday to Easter Sunday. (22nd
– 24th April 2011).

“If I was going to do something, there was only one community I wanted to do it
in, and it’s this one, because it’s where I grew up and it’s my home.”

NOT SO FUNNY
This should never have been allowed to happen. From someone who's had their card cloned and bank account plundered of over £1000 by some tosspot crooks in Bulgaria (I've never been to Bulgaria in my life) I can tell you it's not very nice.It's bound to have serious repercussions.If you have kids and don't know what I'm talking about read here. If you don't have kids then the best advice I can give you is to move on quietly and find an interesting blog!
