A witty, tender, and occasionally surreal exploration of one family's
experience of the NHS. A month after stating 'we will stop the
top-down reorganisation of the NHS that has got in the way of patient
care', the government launched the biggest top-down reorganisation the
service had seen in its 65-year history. Stella Feehily's play
explores one family's journey through the digestive system of the NHS,
and asks: what is the prognosis for this much-loved institution? This
May Hurt A Bit premiered in 2014, on a UK tour co-produced by Out of
Joint, and Octagon Theatre, Bolton. 'urgent, clever, anarchic... I
defy anyone to leave without a renewed sense of pride in our greatest
institution, and some serious concerns about its future.' - Time Out
'surreal, hilarious and hard-hitting' as theatrically entertaining as
it is politically committed' - Observer 'urgently topical' a
passionate defence of nationalised medicine and a call to fight for
its preservation - Guardian
