Review: THE HUMAN BODY, Donmar Warehouse
The departing artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse is going out in a blaze of glory.

The further end of the 40s has Shropshire shackled by austerity. An engaged member of the Labour party, socialist GP Iris is lobbying in support of Nye Bevan’s radical fight to deliver free healthcare to Britain. Married to an ex-Navy medic turned full-time GP and mother to a young daughter who couldn’t be more different from her, she muddles her family life with her political activity.

It’s encouraging to realise that, sometimes, the taxpayers are funding ventures that truly matter.
