Black Hole Sign review – NHS’s critical condition examined with dark humour
The news article "Black Hole Sign review – NHS's critical condition examined with dark humour" discusses a play that critically examines the state of the UK's National Health Service (NHS) through the lens of personal experiences. The play, written by Uma Nada-Rajah, a staff nurse working in critical care, depicts the challenges and struggles faced by various patients within the NHS system. The play's characters, including a recovering alcoholic, a self-harming young woman, a delirious octogenarian, and a man with a spike in his buttocks, represent the "messy truth" of the NHS's critical condition. The article suggests that the play addresses the issue of profit taking precedence over health, and the "black hole of greed" within the system. The play is currently running at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow and will later be performed at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh.
