Passing On

Written by Mike Kenny, this powerful play has been created from real life stories about ordinary people experiencing the ordinary but extraordinary reality of their loved ones dying in a hospital ward. Juxtaposing intense testimony and moving dramatic imagery with a life sized puppet, the play explores the dilemmas facing both relatives and health professionals during end of life care in a Midlands hospital.

Jim and Joyce recall their encounters with insight, confusion, humour and love as they meet health professionals and carers on a journey which like Joyce none of us would wish to share but most of us will.

First seen as part of SUSPENSE 2011. There will be a post-show discussion with health professionals, social scientists and members of the company.

Suitable for adults (minimum age 14)

There isn’t a strict dress code for London theatre, so wear whatever you’ll feel comfortable and confident in. Most people go for smart casual - think jeans or trousers with a nice top, a casual dress, or a shirt and trainers. If you’re heading to an evening show, on a date, or celebrating something, you might fancy dressing up a bit more, but it’s completely optional.
