A Pacifist’s Guide to the War on Cancer

Bryony Kimmings wants to talk about cancer but she’s not getting very far. Instead, she keeps hearing about battles, survivors, fun runs and new leases of life. What’s everyone so scared of?

This funny and moving production looks behind the poster campaigns and pink ribbons at the reality of cancer… with songs.

Originally a Complicité Associates co-production with the National Theatre in association with HOME Manchester
