“Acrobatic, empathetic and wholly engrossing. 4 stars” The Watford Observer

The National Health Service: Almost everyone enters the world inside it and most of us will experience its healing powers. Many die in its arms and some will have their lives saved by it. It is epic, tragic, joyful, extraordinary and ordinary all the same time. 

 

A cleaner has come down with a mystery illness. A consultant is struggling with the pressures of tendering for his own department. And Nurse Harry Smith doesn’t know how much more he can take.

 

As the future of the NHS hangs in the balance, Tangled Feet ask: what is it worth to us? And how do we value care?

 

Tangled Feet transform the theatre into a hospital in this uniquely immersive production: where doctors fly and nurses dance, where you’ll find yourself in the waiting room one minute and the operating theatre the next.  Commissioned by Watford Palace Theatre.
