Join theatre company and Clinical Psychologist Dr Sue Gibbons (Whittington Health NHS Trust) for a theatre performance, post-show discussion and creative presentation.

In Our Own Words is a collection of stories and reflections from the past four years (and beyond), charting the extreme challenges and the incredible moments, memories and mighty people who extended themselves and achieved so much throughout the pandemic and since.

​

Wake The Beast Theatre Company and The Whittington's Clinical Health Psychology Team worked with NHS staff from early May 2020, conducting interviews with over 400 staff and collecting over 300 hours of audio, which we then presented in seven theatre pieces, ten short films to Care Home staff, B.A.M.E staff, community and hospital staff from 3 NHS Trusts from June 2020 until present.

Actors performed these stories with clinical psychologists to staff in care homes, community clinics, meeting rooms and hospital wards across many sites.

Wake the Beast was invited to perform 'In Our Own Words' at the Houses of Parliament on 25th April 2023 and is touring the project to 12 NHS Trusts across England in April 2024, including UCLH NHS Foundation Trust.
