Can nurse Nigel take on the Winter Gauntlet? Will anyone ever get a pay raise? Lawless uses wrestling as a showstopping medium to explore the politics of what it’s like to be a ‘front line’ health care worker. Are we ‘soldiers’? Or ‘heroes’? Or even cannon fodder? Who lies behind the masks?

Created in collaboration with Sh!t Theatre (Drink Rum With Ex Pats, Dollywood) , produced by artist/wrestler Heather Bandenburg (I Need to Cher, Mummy Vs) and supported by Centre for Live Art Yorkshire. Fusing real stories from Lawless and other healthcare workers with political ‘battles’ and drawing on the rhetoric of a government that both champions and destroys its health service. NHSmackdown is a cathartic and honest exploration of the rageful and ridiculous moments in British healthcare, from the dramatic to the mundane.
