A Complicite Associates' A PACIFISTS GUIDE TO THE WAR ON CANCER Begins Tonight

Exeter Northcott Theatre presents A Pacifist's Guide to the War on Cancer, an all-singing, all-dancing examination of life with a cancer diagnosis.

Directed by Bryony Kimmings, this brand-new musical sees Complicite tour to only HOME Manchester and Exeter Northcott Theatrebefore heading to the National Theatre in London.

A Pacifist's Guide to the War on Cancer, a co-production between Complicite and the National Theatre, in association with HOME Manchester, takes you on a whistle-stop tour through five unconventional stories about cancer, confronting the highs and lows of the scariest word we know.

With the book by Bryony Kimmings and New York-born London-based Brian Lobel, music by Tom Parkinson, and lyrics by Bryony Kimmings, A Pacifist's Guide to the War on Cancer looks behind the poster campaigns and pink ribbons at the reality of cancer: the waiting rooms and chemo suites, the changed bodies, the family pressures and financial worries.

Expect big anthems, shiny costumes, blood, tears, and the experiences of cancer patients in this rip-roaring, heart breaking celebration of ordinary life and death, scratching at the battle metaphors that surround cancer, revealing what really lies beneath.
