About the Show

A stage play based on the 2018 "Book of the Year": the memoir of NHS nurse Christie Watson.

"The Language of Kindness", which has sold 250, 000 copies to date, reflects on a 20 year career within the NHS, focusing on the experiences of those who care for others for a living. The memoir was recognised as Book of the Week by BBC Radio 4 and named Book of the Year by the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times and the Guardian.
