1948, Shropshire: the winter is freezing, austerity is biting and Iris Elcock, GP, socialist and Labour Social gathering councillor, is working tirelessly to implement Nye Bevan’s Nationwide Well being Service Act and its revolutionary promise of free healthcare for all.
At house she is a mom, and spouse to a fellow GP, an ex-Navy man scarred by the battle. However an opportunity assembly with George Blythe, an area boy who has made it to Hollywood, turns her quiet, sure world the other way up.
A narrative of political and personal passions, Lucy Kirkwood’s play The Human Physique was first carried out on the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2024, directed by Michael Longhurst and Ann Yee, and starring Keeley Hawes and Jack Davenport.
‘Kirkwood is essentially the most rewarding dramatist of her technology’ – Impartial
‘Kirkwood’s script crackles with unstated wishes, disappointments, craving and a few implausible humour… deftly weaves greater politics with the politics of a wedding and affair’ – Guardian
‘Delicate and poignant… has its writer’s attribute intelligence and wit, the dialogue filled with texture and vivacity’ – The Stage
