Take Back Our NHS

Take Back are an award-winning Manchester based theatre collective, making work inspired by social and political events. Last at the Comedy Store in January 2017 with Take Back America: a riotous response to the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump, this latest evening is a celebration of our wonderful NHS, a thank you to its workers, and a call to arms to save it.

Expect some strong language.
