Released to celebrate the 72nd birthday of our wonderful NHS, An Act of Care (in response to right now) recognises all that those working in the NHS and on the frontline have done to keep us safe. It didn’t have to be like this, but given how events in the coronavirus pandemic have unfolded, we think it’s vital to speak out for those wonderful people, most importantly those that have lost their lives to protect ours. Now more than ever, the NHS needs us to stand up and fight for it, otherwise it won’t be there next time. The first line of the NHS constitution reads: the NHS belongs to the people. So what are we going to do to fight for it?

An Act of Care (in response to right now), an archipelago arts collective production and a Sanctuary Broadcast Commission by SBC Theatre.
