Member Reviews (2)
See it if you enjoy seeing a strong set of actors/characters interacting even if the story is not so great.
Don't see it if you hate strobe effects, darkness and emotionally intense shows
See it if You want a totally absorbing, if grim, depiction of working in the NHS as a junior doctor. Excellent staging, acting and characterisation.
Don't see it if You want something light!

“The dialogue here is sharp and sarcastic, but it tells a little more than it shows. The writing is strongest in the sections where we see the effects of mounting pressures, rather than when we just hear about them in conversation.”

“It is punchy, mordantly funny and occasionally soapily melodramatic, and it is anchored by a star-making performance from Jasmine Blackborow.”
