Description
A play by Yorkshire Womens Theatre which uses humour, songs and pathos to follow the experiences of Val and Hayley, who discover they may have cervical cancer. It shows their laughter and fears as they trace their way through a maze of misinformation and medical jargon. “..dealt with a potentially embarrassing, delicate and fearful subject with enormous sensitivity, humour and clarity”.
*Suitably adapted the cancer information and the means of presenting the information might be useful in trying to raise cancer awareness in the ‘hard to reach communities’ (immigrants with poor or no English, Travellers, those unable to read.)
