Grief and humour may seem unlikely companions, but Madelaine Nunn’s one-woman show FLICK combines these with marvellous charm and heart-breaking empathy to tell a story that looks at loss through the eyes of a struggling palliative care nurse.
Nunn is outstanding. She embodies the mania of someone who is so busy it takes her three hours to get through a cup of coffee, whilst projecting the casual confidence of a nurse who has done and seen it all a thousand times before. She brings the audience close, and we’re hanging off her every word.
It's a superb examination of grief, beautifully unravelled with heart and humour by a brilliant performer.
