The Human Body
Sinopsis
The window for change – real change I mean – will close. Its already closing. Very soon it will be shut, and we shant be able to get it open again.
1948, Shropshire: the winter is freezing, austerity is biting and Iris Elcock, GP, socialist and Labour Party councillor, is working tirelessly to implement Nye Bevans National Health Service Act and its revolutionary promise of free healthcare for all.
At home she is a mother, and wife to a fellow GP, an ex-Navy man scarred by the war. But a chance meeting with George Blythe, a local boy who has made it to Hollywood, turns her quiet, certain world upside down.
A story of political and private passions, Lucy Kirkwoods play The Human Body was first performed at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2024, directed by Michael Longhurst and Ann Yee, and starring Keeley Hawes and Jack Davenport.
