"A rollercoaster of emotions - hilarious, sad, shocking and above all fantastic! Great stories, wonderful performers and interactive too - well done"

"Such an impactful performance! We loved it! What an emotional insight into the raw, honest and humorous experience of heath and social care workers during the pandemic. I don’t work in either sector so I didn’t expect to be moved quite as much as I was. The subtle overlay of the political narrative makes for a most thought provoking and cathartic experience. Highly recommended for both health and social care workers and anyone else who lived and worked through the pandemic ( all of us ! )"

"This show was heavily emotional at times, really well written and portrayed. It really connected with me as a healthcare professional. Great mix of seriousness and funny too. Would 100% recommend, very talented actors!"

"What a show! Enjoyed every minute of this real, engaging, thought provoking yet fun performance. Adam and Kemi were captivating. It was fascinating, and a privilege to gain such a personal insight into the thoughts, feelings and struggles of NHS staff as they navigated their way through Covid and beyond. I’m not sure if it’s going to save the NHS, but it’s giving the dedicated, talented staff a voice and creating an opportunity for deep reflection and discussion of our NHS. A definite must see."

"This is theatre at it's best. Important messages explored creatively. It was tight and slick and the use of physical theatre and music enhanced the experience. The jewel in the crown was the opportunity to hear the voices of real NHS staff talking, woven seamlessly into the production. Definitely worth seeing."

"A serious message presented brilliantly....if you care about the NHS you won't regret going to see this. 10/10."

"Brilliant! Brilliant!Brilliant! Well done the two of you for SO effectively transmitting what it was REALLY like for the various health and social care staff during the pandemic - putting a truly human face to the reality of the situation for them - and for caring enough to do so"

"Wonderful show. Super relevant, funny and moving verbatim based piece. The actors created a great relationship with us (the audience) and led us through a COVID to now journey of NHS stories. I highly recommend this."

"Fantastic, powerful and true to life show, with both thought provoking and funny moments. We loved it! Thank you for bringing light and hope to such an important topic!"

"Get your ticket for this show - don't miss out! It's been a while since I went to the theatre. I am glad this was the show that ended my theatrical drought. I expected comedy (and got plenty of it) but didn't expect to be so moved. We often think of the NHS in the abstract. We understand that people make it work but we rarely think in depth about their stories and experiences. The pandemic gave us some insight into the depth of the commitment and the strains the incredible people of this service face daily, but this show brought this home. Balancing humour, music, joy and honest, raw insight into our most beloved and precious of institutions, the hour flew by. The performers were adept at carrying us from story to story and the simple but creative staging carried us through the different facets of the NHS. Thank you Wake The Beast, for this important, funny, heartfelt piece of theatre. More please!"

"Absolutely great. A fascinating isight into life in the NHS during a hugely challenging time. Poignant at times and hilarious at others. Highly recommend."
