FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

The National Health

by Peter Nichols
Directed by Keith Thompson
6th – 13th February 1982

Sub-titled “Nurse Norton’s Affair”, this play paints a portrait of British hospital life as, perhaps, it really is — earthy humour shot through with anxiety and genuine, though only cautiously admitted, concern for those trapped with strangers in an unfamiliar milieu.

Laughter and tears. A vivid example of Peter Nichols’s power to put modern Britain on the stage.
