Seeing this film back in 2014 absolutely shredded me. I couldnāt figure out why I was uncontrollably sobbing. It came to me that itās a perfect venn diagram of my life: Welsh, gay, miners in the family, I was playing one at the time in Billy Elliot and people close to me with HIV.
Now getting to play Gethin in this incredible story feels huge. This story couldnāt be more special to me and I know itās going to mean a lot to a lot of people. Itās a real honour to be part of this story and itās something I will never ever forget.
We will do our best to make LGSM and the people of Onllwyn proud.

Pride is coming to @nationaltheatre this summer.
In this time of polarisation, we are longing for community connection more than ever.
This show genuinely hurts to be part of. Meeting the miners and LGSMs is so deeply felt. We wouldnāt have the rights we have now without them, so itās the greatest honour to be telling their story.
I canāt wait for you to see it.
PRIDE in Cardiff was an absolute whirlwind.
Audiences Iāll never forget. A endlessly special and exhausting time.
Quick break and then to the Southbank!
