A BROKEN FAMILY, TOGETHER
OLDHAM COLISEUM THEATRE ONLINE MICRO COMMISSIONS 2021

During the height of the pandemic, Dare to Know Theatre created 'A Broken Family, Together.' A digital verbatim play commissioned as part of Oldham Coliseum Theatre's Micro Commissions. The play is a culmination of the words spoken to us by health care professionals working on the ICU wards at Royal Oldham Hospital. The play is a documentation, acknowledgement and celebration of the dedication and heroism that the nurses, doctors, porters, managers, volunteers and many many more people have shown during the pandemic.
​
It is hoped that the piece will echo the feelings inside hospitals around the country, exemplifying the need for support and understanding for the pressures that healthcare professionals in Britain are facing.
We can't thank the healthcare professionals at Royal Oldham Hospital enough for their time, generosity, openness, courage, love and support during this project.
