'Cancer Tales', two short plays by Nell Dunn (Up the junction, Cathy come
home) about women and their journey through cancer will be staged at the
RSM on Friday 10th October. This will be followed by a panel debate about
communication in clinical settings and a wine reception.
A snippet from a review in the BMJ reads as follows: 'Five personal histories of
pain, hopelessness, hope, resignation, and love are the ingredients for Cancer
Tales. These five real stories take us to real problems. The monologues and
dialogues are brilliantly written, transporting the audience into the minds and
the lives of the characters. The set is minimal, the play mesmerising'
Both Nell Dunn and Trevor Walker, the play's director, will take part in a panel
discussion after the staging of two 'Cancer Tales'. The TV and news presenter
Anna Ford and Jed Mercurio, a doctor turned author and screenwriter of the
acclaimed television series 'Bodies' will also sit on the panel.
Tickets cost £10 (£5 concessions) and can be booked on line at
