Centred around the true-life story of one family’s journey through the pandemic, this shocking and poignant tales weaves together verbatim stories from the perspectives of patients, medical health care professionals and relatives. Exploring and unpacking the experiences of those most desperately affected by the pressures placed on the NHS, this play is told through the lens of those who have lived it and is created by theatre maker Alexandra Spencer-Jones, who herself experienced the thousand natural shocks of losing those closest to her in the Pandemic.
Incorporating original music written in response to real life events, this important project is being built in direct conversation with Mind, The Limbless Association and various NHS trusts - proudly supported by Northampton Derngate Theatre, The Burgess Estate Salford, The Park Theatre London and Camden People’s Theatre.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
