Our National Health Stories

Celebrate 75 years of the NHS with a powerful and moving performance – directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah
 
Honour the voices of the NHS on its 75th anniversary with a one-off performance directed by the Young Vic’s Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah.
 
This is a celebration of NHS staff – in their own words. Watch as their stories are brought to life through music, poetry, film and dance, with NHS staff performing alongside professionals and a live band.
 
Join us for the big finale of a six-month programme of creative activity undertaken by thousands of staff in hospitals across England. The performance has been developed as part of an unprecedented national collaboration between 19 hospital trusts.
 
The stellar creative team is led by Kwei-Armah, with Associate Director Jennifer Tang, award-winning writer and playwright Chris Bush, and original music by composer Ruth Chan.
