There are 400,000 nurses in the NHS today. This is their story. Tending is an award-winning play that shines a light on the day-to-day lives of NHS nurses. Following a critically-acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe 2024, it is now returning for a national tour. Based on over 70 interviews with nurses of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities, Tending immerses you in the experience of life on the ward. All the laughs and late-night coffees. The hilarity and the heartbreak. The patients you know you’ll remember, and the friendships you’ll never forget. Tending is a love letter to our National Health Service, created with the community who hold it up. Post Show Discussion Join us for a post-show panel discussion on Tuesday 1 May with the company and panelists including policy makers and NHS workers.
At its core the play asks an essential question: when the system’s under pressure and lives are on the line, who takes time to care for the carers?
