Reform Theatre Company, whose production of Jim Cartwight’s Two was a huge success at The Met in May, return with another hilarious northern classic…
When actor Jack Skipton returns from filming to care for his ageing aunt, he has no idea what he is letting himself in for. This might be his most taxing role to date, as he begins an odyssey through the NHS, from cancelled GP appointments and wrongly booked scans, to frustrated consultants and abusive carers.
Jack’s story is hilarious and heart-breaking, as he and his aunt take on the health service in order to get the right diagnosis and the right care; as he goes from actor to carer to drugs consultant, and she refuses to admit that she is even ill.
Told in a bold physical style and with breath-taking grit and honesty, John Godber’s take on our health service is both tender and true, as he investigates what we deserve, and what we receive.
Take a deep breath, because This Might Hurt!
