“The silence surrounding the creeping privatisation of the NHS in England is one of the great mysteries of current British politics… A very fine performance from the wonderful Stephanie Cole… Feehily’s play begins to exert an ever stronger and more moving grip”
“A very fine performance from the wonderful Stephanie Cole”
'The message is partisan, but it is delivered with such verve, wit and humour that I am willing to bet even the most diehard privateer couldn't fail to enjoy the fun – and might even go away feeling like reconsidering some of their own assumptions.Max Stafford-Clark's direction is masterly. He perfectly facilitates the flow of forms, so that a naturalistic moment moves to tears, a hard fact strikes to anger, an absurdity raises laughter (Frances Ashman's dementia patient combines all three at once). There is pace, energy and clarity. Each member of his eight-strong cast is a joy to watch': Clare Brennan The Observer, Sunday 30 March 2014
