The cast list for Michael Sheen's new BBC Welsh-filmed drama, The Way, has been announced. The three-part series tells the story of an ordinary family caught up in an extraordinary chain of events that ripple out from their home town.
The Way, which has just begun filming in Port Talbot, has been described as a "bold new drama" written by James Graham, directed by Michael Sheen, and co-created by Sheen, Graham, and Adam Curtis. The emotional and darkly humorous story will explore what it means to be faced with impossible choices.
A synopsis reads: "Ambitious, powerful and surprising, The Way taps into the social and political chaos of today’s world by imagining a civil uprising which begins in a small industrial town. Fleeing unrest, The Driscolls are forced to escape the country they’ve always called home and the certainties of their old lives. Will they be overwhelmed by their memories of the past, or will they lay their ghosts to rest and take the risk of an unknown future?"
