Nye – National Theatre (Olivier Theatre) 2.15pm Saturday 9 March 2024.

I got a £10 Friday Rush ticket to see this, at my first attempt.

It was in the circle and not very close, but I could still see everything on stage.

This is a play (that includes a musical number) about the founder of the NHS.

It was an interesting – and at times slightly surreal – play that told the powerful story behind the man who created the NHS and how he overcame the opposition he faced against introducing such a socialist concept. A concept that (from the stats shown at the end of the play) has decreased infant mortality rates, increased life expectancy and treats over 1 million people per day based on clinical need rather than how much they can afford.

10/10
