Anyone brave enough to perform or expose their writing to an Edinburgh fringe audience, particularly on such an important subject as the NHS and society in general in the wake of COVID-19 and the cost of living crisis, deserves credit. However, despite spirited performances this play was limited in terms of its dramatic structure, narrative, production design, direction and characters. The final, moralising monologue, a device rarely seen in modern theatre gor good reason, in many ways, summed up the endeavour. I do hope all those involved enjoyed their fringe experience, but I also hope that they got the chance to see other more more polished theatre, and learned a little from more experienced practicioners, to help them to push on.

A complex and endearing narrative, performed with deep connection and wisdom. I felt like it captured the heart of a place, time and people.

Quite the journey for the leads within and outside of the NHS. Very good job, Jake.

I was interested to see this as this topic is so relevant. I felt the production as whole was performed brilliantly, leading us to really think about issues facing NHS workers now. Every person on stage also came across so personable that it was easy to empathise with what they were going through.
