Every day, something is revealed about this place that stops me in my tracks. The enthusiasm and support has been tremendous already, but perhaps more than anything, it is the constant reminder of why I wanted to do this project in the first place — the spirit of compassion, the feeling of community, the passion of people in a town that refuses to be overlooked or passed by. So often, our town is looked down on or dismissed, sometimes by ourselves even. I hope that The Passion will be an opportunity for the world to see what is revealing itself daily to all of us fortunate enough to be a part of this adventure, that Port Talbot is an example of what is best about us, what is most deserving of celebration and shows us that miracles are happening among us every day, if we have but eyes to see and ears to hear. ” MICHAEL SHEEN CAST _ MATTHEW AUBREY JORDAN BERNARDE DARREN LAWRENCE RHYS MATTHEWS Matthew trained at the Royal Welsh Jordan trained at the Royal Welsh Darren trained at the Central School Rhys trained at RADA, and is co-artistic College of Music and Drama.
