As Nurse Claire goes offline due to technical difficulties, Izzy, Matilda, Hannah & Gemma have to pull together to continue the group therapy session without their trained professional to guide them through.
The women demonstrate just what we have all had to do over the past couple years and that's work as a community to help each other out - regardless of race, sexuality, gender or any other labels you can think of.
Not to give too much away, it is clear these wonderful actors have done their research into what goes into the recovery process for Mental Health problems, more specifically Eating Disorders. The scriptwriter has written in very clever terminology that would be used by a Community Psychiatric Nurse or other medical professionals. It's always great when a production knows what they're performing.
Abbie Jackson, Lucy Edington-Brown, Nichole Cook, Abbi Stevenson & Emily Rose Ambler's passion to spread positive awareness for Mental Health is evident in this independent production. The sensitivity displayed is a true testament to their abilities as performing artists.
Recovery is a very good production. Well-thought-out and vehemently delivered. The women who appear should be congratulated for beautifully bringing a somewhat taboo subject to the forefront. Some of the dialogue is rather funny which shows Mental Health/Eating Disorders doesn't have to be scary all the time. Especially when you've got people like Claire, Izzy, Matilda, Gemma & Hannah supporting you along the way.
Recovery was really good, educational, entertaining and engaging.
Well done, girls.
