An evening of true stories of hope and humanity told live by people working in the NHS, with poet Faye Marshall and artist John Yayen.
National Health Stories returns to the Montgomery Theatre on Thursday 19 November, with the night starting at 7:30pm. It's an evening of true stories told live on stage by people working in the NHS, and it's open to the public rather than just to health staff.
The format is straightforward: people who work in the health service come up and tell their own stories, first-hand and without a script. They're joined by poet Faye Marshall and artist John Yayen, who both play a part in the evening. The whole thing runs for around two hours, with an interval in the middle to stretch your legs.
It's not a new arrival, either. This is the third year it's been on, following the 2024 and 2025 editions, so it's a returning fixture rather than a one-off. The stories are described as being about hope and humanity, and because they're told by the people who lived them, they come from the inside of the NHS rather than from a distance.
