Description

'You care a lot, that's nice. It shows your age.'Jay's new. He's just started as a temp in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

He arrives with little more than a fledgling desk plant and well-meaning plans to change the broken system.

Angela's been working here for over thirty years and nothing seems to faze her – except Jay. Exhausted and worn down by archaic protocol, Jay starts bending the rules in a desperate attempt to help their patients.

But when professional boundaries are crossed and trust is shattered, he discovers the harsh reality of what's truly at stake. Sophia Chetin-Leuner's play This Might Not Be It is a candid portrayal of human lives at the mercy of our crumbling NHS.

The play was longlisted for the Verity Bargate Award and shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting.

It was premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Ed Madden and produced by Broccoli Arts and Jessie Anand Productions.
