Mark Thomas takes the temperature of the NHS at 70 in a hugely entertaining and utterly unsentimental show which is backed by rigorous research and interviews with policy makers and those working in the NHS. It’s stuffed with facts and figures — did you know that if you get on an East bound tube at Holborn life expectancy drops a year for every station you pass? — but it is also very funny too. A humane and biting 75 minutes that reminds that when humour and anger walk cheek by jowl the theatre can be a place that sparks not just debate but activism.
