A new interpretation of the

TMA Theatre Award-Winning Best Show for Children and Young People 2009.

FOR THE BEST Conceived and directed by Mark Storor Produced by Anna Ledgard

Tuesday 16 to Sunday 28 November ‘Being on dialysis is like being in a washing machine, your blood is put through a 4 hour rinse cycle and then you come out all squeaky clean.’

“A devastating theatrical journey”

‘I don’t put salt on my dinner anymore, it’s not fair on him.’

‘Dialysis means you can get bored out of your skull; a wandering mind can travel for miles and miles and miles, and there are no limits to the imagination.’

The Guardian

A site-specific show housed on the fourth floor of the historic Gostin Building in the heart of Liverpool ONE, For the Best has been created over five months with patients attending Royal Liverpool University Hospital, their families, artists and performers.

“an extraordinary and tender evocation of one family’s struggle” Time Out

Beautiful, fragile and multi-layered, For the Best is an imaginative journey through a family’s experience of living with chronic illness. showtimes
