Stage adaptation of Christie Watson’s THE LANGUAGE OF KINDNESS to tour the UK

The Language of Kindness

Christie Watson’s best-selling memoir will be adapted to tour the UK in May, it has been announced today. The book is based on Watson’s experiences and memories from her 20 years as a nurse in the NHS.

It will be adapted and directed by Sasha Milavic Davies and James Yeatman, and will tour all over the UK, visiting Warwick Arts Centre as part of Coventry City of Culture, Shoreditch Town Hall, Assembly Hall Tunbridge Wells and Oxford. Full details, along with further tour locations, are expected to be announced soon.

The piece is described as “a celebration, a homage, a joy-filled, emotion-laden singing and dancing ode to all nurses who have ever worked in the NHS.”. It will be an ensemble-style piece of dance-theatre with documentary stories.

The Language of Kindness will be co-produced by Wayward Productions, with Assembly Hall Theatre Tunbridge Wells, Complicite and Warwick Arts Centre, in association with Shoreditch Town Hall and Guy Chapman.

The set and costume design is by Zoe Hurwitz, with sound by Gareth Fry and video by Hayley Egan.
