Have you ever asked yourself what you live for? Or maybe that should be who?

A tale of survival and a love letter to the NHS, The Patient Soldier uncovers the true story of one man’s will to live. It’s March 2020. Presented in a hallucinogenic style, The Patient Soldier reveals how the power of positive conversations between ourselves, medical personnel, friends, and family, help to fight and deal with trauma. It’s a humorous and macabre journey, a warts and all reveal of a war zone in ICU, playing against the backdrop of an NHS buckling as it goes through the most tumultuous time in its history. It’s a matter of life and death and The Patient Soldier, Barra, is a living testament, just!

A true story of Barra’s fight and how he communicated with family, friends, and even the Grim Reaper through his mind. The battlefield in which Barra must fight to survive is his very own consciousness, where personal relationships are psychological and conversations, tragic and hilarious, take place. Between a pint and a mask follow this incredible story of determination and see for yourselves the power of words.

The show is followed by a live Q & A with the creative team and NHS staff.

This event is for those aged 18+.
