Commissioned by Complicite, Bryony Kimmings' new musical presents an all-singing, all-dancing examination of life with a cancer diagnosis.

Confronting the highs, lows, and in-betweens of the 'scariest word we know', this new work presents a whistle-stop tour of five unconventional cancer stories. A heartbreaking and celebratory look at real life and death, with big anthems, shiny costumes and cancer patients in tow. 

Bryony Kimmings is a bold and brilliant advocate of social change through her work. This latest collaboration with Complicite, 'the UK's most influential and consistently interesting theatre company' (The Times), aims to look beyond the pink ribbons and poster campaigns towards the reality of a diagnosis: changing bodies, waiting rooms and family pressures.
