Welsh-born Hollywood actor Michael Sheen is taking part in a production of The Passion in his home town in an Easter celebration.

The live performance in locations in and around Port Talbot will run for 72 hours non-stop from Good Friday until sunset on Easter Sunday.

Passion plays were developed to tell the story of the trial suffering and death of Jesus Christ.

Sheen, known for his portrayals of public figures such as Tony Blair and David Frost, said he was inspired by the community spirit of the passion plays he watched at Margam Park as a youngster.
