Real-life stories of healthcare workers are explored in Dare to Know Theatre’s digital verbatim play A Broken Family, Together.
The play was created with support from Oldham Coliseum Theatre as one of the Coliseum’s Micro Commissions 2021.
A Broken Family, Together is the culmination of words said by healthcare professionals working at The Royal Oldham Hospital looking back over the coronavirus pandemic.
With the help of Wendy Clapham, Assistant Director of Nursing Services for Critical Care at the hospital – who received a BEM for Services to Nursing in the Queen’s New Year Honours list, Dare to Know interviewed the team at the hospital with a view to celebrate and document the dedication and heroism that nurses, doctors, porters, managers, volunteers and more have shown throughout the crisis.
