Nyrsys
by Bethan Marlow

Songs by Rhys Taylor and Bethan Marlow

Original idea by Sara Lloyd and Bethan Marlow
As this year sees the NHS turn 70, we take a look behind the scenes of a busy cancer ward in a hospital in Wales today, with script and songs created from interviews with ‘real’ nurses. This new play shines a light on nurses’ experiences – the challenges they face in their day-to-day work and the mischief, sisterhood and sense of vocation that sustains them. A heartfelt depiction of the life and work of these real-life heroes who care for us and our loved ones within a healthcare system that’s under perpetual strain.

Director: Sara Lloyd
