Review: A radical musical A Pacifist’s Guide to the War on Cancer - The Lancet

A radical musical - The Lancet

 A Pacifist’s Guide to the War on Cancer was commissioned by Complicite, the theatre company that is world renowned for trailblazing work. But this collaboration between writers Bryony Kimmings and Brian Lobel and composer Tom Parkinson succeeds on traditional grounds too. At heart, it is an exploration of a group of people with cancer. The energetic and diverse cast alternate between playing patients and relatives, and the doctors and nurses who treat them.
