This Might Hurt

Work:: This Might Hurt (S01370411407)

When tough actor Jack Skipton returns from filming to care for his ageing aunt, he has no idea what he is letting himself in for. But this might be his most taxing role to date, as he begins an incredible odyssey through the N.H.S, from cancelled GP's appointments, wrongly booked scans, frustrated Consultants, and abusive home Carers, who smoke on the door step! Jack's story is hilarious and heartbreaking, as he and his aunt take on the health service in order to get the right diagnosis, and the right care; as he goes from actor to Carer to drugs Consultant, and she refuses to admit that she is even ill! Told in a bold physical theatre style and with breathtaking grit and honesty, Godber's take on our health service is both tender and true, as he investigates what we deserve, and what we receive. Take a deep breath, because This Might Hurt!

Justin Mulchinock-Roche : 13Nov16:
spent the evening as a thespian; Hull Truck Theatre. This Might Hurt, a cynical view of the NHS, Medical services, and social care support services in Hull. It was o.k. Very funny in places; but a little drawn out in other areas. Although all 3 actors worked their socks off; I feel another couple of actors/actresses wouldn't have gone a miss in order to break the scenery up a little. I thought the tickets £20.00 were over priced, I would have been more comfortable paying £12.00. I was asked for an honest opinion, I feel I have given one. Thanks Guys 7/10
